============== 

(Note: the sheet music for this claims it's in the 
 key of G.  CD versions are in Ab.  In line with my 
 usual practice, I'm transposing this song to A,  
 which is definitely how it was played live from  
 the late 70's onwards) 

A              B                    
I just took a ride in a silver  
    D                           E 
machine, and I'm still feeling mean 

        A                                B 
Do you want to ride, see yourself going by 
                        D                 E            
the other side of the sky in a silver machine

I've got a Silver Machine... } x 4 

     A                     B 
It flies sideways through time 
                  D                   E 
It's an electric line to your Zodiac sign 

     A              B             
It flies out of a dream 
                      D                               E 
it's antiseptically clean, you've got to know what I mean
