The Mechanical Girl Chords & Lyrics by Voltaire
The Mechanical Girl
guitar chords lyrics
As usual tune your guitar a WHOLE STEP DOWN!!
(Try picking each string separate!)
E
In the court of Augustine The Twelfth
B7
The king reprimanded his men
B7
And demanded they
E
Put to good use all his wealth
A B
to cure his deep ennui
E A B
For you see, he found that he was sad and lonely
E A
Ever since his wife, the queen, got mad and
B
Rode off on his steed
E A B x2 (underneath the cello/violin)
Finish with B Ringing
-----------------------
E
In a glen beyond the castle wall
B7
There was a tinker
B7
And he was a thinker
E
The smartest man in all the world
A B
He made a mechanical girl
E A B
For you see, his daughter passed away that summer
E A
And though he knew he could not replace her
B
He missed his family
-------------------------------------------
(Staccato strumming)
Am E
Suddenly a knock at the door went ra-ta-ta-ta-ta
Am E
And the kingsmen came in blowing horns ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Am
"By order of His Highness
E
We're to take you and that...thing
B
To present your marvel to the king."
E A B
And so, over glen and through the castle walls
E A B
Over the moat, and into the great castle hall
B B
