As usual tune your guitar a WHOLE STEP DOWN!!
(Try picking each string separate!)
In the court of AEugustine The Twelfth
The king reB7primanded his men
And demB7anded they
Put to goEod use all his wealth
to cAure his deepB ennui
For yoEu see, he found that he was saAd and lonelBy
EEver since his wife, the queen, got mAad and
Rode off oBn his steed
E A B x2 (underneath the cello/violin)
Finish with B Ringing
-----------------------
In a glen beyonEd the castle wall
There wB7as a tinker
And he B7was a thinker
The smartestE man in all the world
He made Aa mechanical Bgirl
EFor you see, his daughter passed aAway that suBmmer
EAnd though he knew he could not replace Aher
He missed Bhis family
-------------------------------------------
(Staccato strumming)
Suddenly aAm knock at the door went ra-taE-ta-ta-ta
And the kiAmngsmen came in blowing horns bEa-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
"By Amorder of His Highness
We're to Etake you and that...thing
To presenBt your marvel to the king."
EAnd so, over glen and throAugh the castle walBls
EOver the moat, and into the grAeat castle Bhall
B B<-----let ring
When her master urged,
The robot girl emerged
E A B x 2
When the king laEid eyes upon the girl
He was B7delighted
His menB7 all were knighted
He yelleEd aloud for all the world
"B;I'll take her forA my queen!"
And the maEn screamed
E"Please don't tAake my child!
IA beg you, mightBy king!"
AEnd they grabbed him by his taAilcoat
And threw hBim in the moat
E-------A-----------B--------------------
(staccato strumming)
Later in thAmeir wedding bed
The king waEms shocked to see
A tender kiAmss upon the cheek
Unleashed aEmn armory
Rocket lauAmnchers and flamethrowing guns
Grew from Emher sides
And she greBw to seven times hBer 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 EAugust twenty-fourth
He was dejectedB7 when lest he expected
A knock was heaErd upon the door
IAt was his roboBt girl
EFor you see, he'd made her indesAtructible B
It seems and Eshe destroyed that awful kingdAom
And theyB lived happily.
ESo you see, the moral of the story is:
Never taAke a child Baway from a loving parent
EEspecially not ones who make children who shoAot rockets from their eyBes
E A B till end
End on E
