The Mechanical Girl

In the court of A[E]ugustine The Twelfth
The king re[B7]primanded his men
And dem[B7]anded they
Put to go[E]od use all his wealth
to c[A]ure his deep[B] ennui

For yo[E]u see, he found that he was sa[A]d and lonel[B]y
[E]Ever since his wife, the queen, got m[A]ad and
Rode off o[B]n his steed

[E]   [A]    [B] x2    (underneath the cello/violin)

Finish with B Ringing

In a glen beyon[E]d the castle wall
There w[B7]as a tinker
And he [B7]was a thinker
The smartest[E] man in all the world
He made [A]a mechanical [B]girl

[E]For you see, his daughter passed a[A]way that su[B]mmer
[E]And though he knew he could not replace [A]her
He missed [B]his family

(Staccato strumming)
Suddenly a[Am] knock at the door went ra-ta[E]-ta-ta-ta
And the ki[Am]ngsmen came in blowing horns b[E]a-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba

"By order[Am] of His Highness
We're to [E]take you and that...thing
To presen[B]t your marvel to the king."

[E]And so, over glen and thro[A]ugh the castle wal[B]ls
[E]                             [A]          [B]
Over the moat, and into the great castle hall
                         [B]  [B]<-----let ring
When her master urged,
The robot girl emerged

[E]               [A]             [B]      x 2

When the king la[E]id eyes upon the girl
He was [B7]delighted
His men[B7] all were knighted
He yelle[E]d aloud for all the world
"I'll[B] take her for my q[A]ueen!"
And the ma[E]n screamed
[E]"Please don't take m[A]y child!
I[A] beg you, might[B]y king!"
A[E]nd they grabbed him by his ta[A]ilcoat
And threw h[B]im in the moat

[E]      [A]          [B]

(staccato strumming)

Later in th[Am]eir wedding bed
The king wa[Em]s shocked to see
A tender ki[Am]ss upon the cheek
Unleashed a[Em]n armory
Rocket lau[Am]nchers and flamethrowing guns
Grew from [Em]her sides
And she gre[B]w to seven times h[B]er size

Run!

(strum each around 4 times, power chords are welcome too)

[Em]        [C]        [G]         [Fm]         [Em]      [B7]      [Em]          [C]          [B]   <---let ring

[E]             [A]             [B] x2

On the morn of [E]August twenty-fourth
He was dejected[B7] when lest he expected
A knock was hea[E]rd upon the door
I[A]t was his robo[B]t girl
[E]For you see, he'd made her indes[A]tructible  [B]
It seems and [E]she destroyed that awful kingd[A]om
And they[B] lived happily.

[E]So you see, the moral of the story is:
Never ta[A]ke a child [B]away from a loving parent
[E]Especially not ones who make children who sho[A]ot rockets from their ey[B]es

[E]         [A]        [B]  till end

End on E
