ever since his wife , the queen , got mad and

in a glen beyond the castle wall

there was a tinker

and he was a thinker
E
the smartest man in all the world
A B
he made a mechanical girl

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

and so , over glen and through the castle walls
E A B
over the moat , and into the great castle hall

“i’ll take her for my queen!”
E
and the man screamed
E A
“please don’t take my child!

Em
grew from her sides

and she grew to seven times her size
run!
( strum each around 4 times , power chords are welcome too )
Em C G Fm Em B7 Em C B E A B x2
E
on the morn of august twenty – fourth
B7
he was dejected when lest he expected
E
a knock was heard upon the door
A B
it was his robot girl
E A B
for you see , he’d made her indestructible
E A
it seems and she destroyed that awful kingdom
B
and they lived happily .
E
so you see , the moral of the story is :
A B
never take a child away from a loving parent
E A B
especially not ones who make children who shoot rockets from their eyes
E A B till end
end on E
hope you enjoy this one more coming soon!!
