[Intro] D [Verse]
DIn the court of Augustine the Twelfth The Aking reprimanded his men And demanded they Dput good use to all his wealth To Gcure his deep Aennui DFor you see he found that he was Gsad and lonely Ever Dsince his wife, the queen got Gmad and Arode off on his Dsteed
[Interlude] G A D G Em [Verse]
In a Dglen beyond the castle wall AThere was a tinker, and he was a thinker The Dsmartest man in all the world He Gmade a mechanical Agirl
DFor you see his daughter passed Gaway that summer And though Dhe knew he could not reGplace her, he Amissed his family
[Interlude] D Bb A [Verse]
GSuddenly a knock at the door went Dra-ta-ta-ta And the Gkingsmen came blowing horns Dba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba "By Gorder of his highness we're to Dtake you and that thing ATo present your marvel to the king!"
DAnd so over glen and Gthrough castle Awalls DOver the moat and into the creat Gcastle hall AWhen her master urged, the mechanical girl emerged
[Interlude] D G A D G A [Verse]
When the Dking laid eyes on the girl AHe was delighted, his men were all knighted He Dyelled for all the world, "I'll Gtake her for my Aqueen!" The Dman screamed, "Please don't take my Gchild, I Abeg you mighty Dking." And they took him by the Gtail coat and Dthrew him in hte moat
[Interlude] Bb A [Verse]
GLater in their wedding bed, the Dking was shocked to see A Gtender kiss upon the cheek unDleashed an armory GRocket launchers and flame throwing Dguns grew from her sides AAnd she grew to seven times her size
Run [Interlude] D Bb F Bb G F A D Bb A D G A D G A [Verse]
On the Dmorn of august twenty-fourth AHe was dejected when he least expected A Dknock was heard upon the door, it Gwas his robot Agirl For you Dsee he made her inGdestructAible It seems and Dshe destroyed that awful Gkingdom FAnd they lived happily D G A DSo you see the moral of the story is GNever take a Achild from a loving Dparent GEspecially not ones who Amake children who Dshoot rockets from their eyes
[Outro] G A D
