The Mechanical Girl

[Verse]
D
In the court of Augustine the Twelfth
    A
The king reprimanded his men
                  D
And demanded they put good use to all his wealth
   G             A
To cure his deep ennui
D                                G
For you see he found that he was sad and lonely
     D                             G       A               D
Ever since his wife, the queen got mad and rode off on his steed

[Verse]
     D
In a glen beyond the castle wall
A
There was a tinker, and he was a thinker
    D
The smartest man in all the world
   G                 A
He made a mechanical girl

D                               G
For you see his daughter passed away that summer
           D                      G             A
And though he knew he could not replace her, he missed his family

G                                 D
Suddenly a knock at the door went ra-ta-ta-ta
        G                           D
And the kingsmen came blowing horns ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
    G                              D
"By order of his highness we're to take you and that thing
A
To present your marvel to the king!"

D                    G              A
And so over glen and through castle walls
D                                G
Over the moat and into the creat castle hall
A
When her master urged, the mechanical girl emerged

[Verse]
         D
When the king laid eyes on the girl
A
He was delighted, his men were all knighted
   D                               G               A
He yelled for all the world, "I'll take her for my queen!"
    D                                   G        A              D
The man screamed, "Please don't take my child, I beg you mighty king."
                         G             D
And they took him by the tail coat and threw him in hte moat

G                               D
Later in their wedding bed, the king was shocked to see
  G                            D
A tender kiss upon the cheek unleashed an armory
G                                   D
Rocket launchers and flame throwing guns grew from her sides
A
And she grew to seven times her size

[Verse]
       D
On the morn of august twenty-fourth
A
He was dejected when he least expected
  D                                 G             A
A knock was heard upon the door, it was his robot girl
        D                 G       A
For you see he made her indestructible
             D                        G
It seems and she destroyed that awful kingdom
F                         D  G  A
And they lived happily
D
So you see the moral of the story is
G            A                   D
Never take a child from a loving parent
G                       A                 D
Especially not ones who make children who shoot rockets from their eyes
