Intro:
G G Em C

Verse 1 & 2:
G                  
machinery mill us forever will rule us
  Em                          C
until we find out how you're wired
      G
god's no longer read through the hands of the dead,
    Em                         C
its safe now to question the friar
      G                     D                        C~
if we stopped at wheel we'd never have swung in this tire

   G
beyond middle ages left village for nations
     Em                     C
this masterpiece our fathers penned
G
to dark to see the old time tyranny
        Em                    C
may the bulb never burn out again
    G                     D                         C
now that we know now everything that we didn't know then 

Chorus:
    G             D            C            G
the book was the lash and the word was the law
        G       D          C        G
but the tyranny ended with ink on a block
          G         D         Em       C 
but don't put it in park with miles to go
        G           C             D           G
need a match never more shall we read in the dark

Interlude that I haven't quite worked out yet:
I usually play G G Em C twice and let C ring on the second time.

Verse 3:
   G                                           
gargantua's hungry, his fork and knife drumming
    Em                      C
but what if we serve him no more? 
   G
if just for a day we took over this place 
        Em                         C
to find out where our harvest are stored
G~                          D~                        C (Crescendo to Chorus)
laugh like a king while you can till the bastions are stormed

Chorus & Outro:
    G             D            C            G
the book was the lash and the word was the law
        G       D          C        G
but the tyranny ended with ink on a block
          G         D         Em       C 
but don't put it in park with miles to go
        G           C             D           G
need a match never more shall we read in the dark

    G             D            C            G
the book was the lash and the word was the law
        G       D          C        G
but the tyranny ended with ink on a block
          G         D         Em       C 
but don't put it in park with miles to go
        G           C             D           G
need a match never more shall we read in the dark

nevermore in the dark

nevermore in the dark
G    D   Em      C
nevermore in the dark
G    D           G
nevermore in the dark
