Voltaire - The Mechanical Girl

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 be A B x 2

E
when the king laid eyes upon the girl
B7
he was delighted
B7
his men all were knighted
E
he yelled aloud for all the world
B A
“i’ll take her for my queen!”
E
and the man screamed
E A
“please don’t take my child!
A B
i beg you , mighty king!”
E A
and they grabbed him by his tailcoat
B
and threw him in the moat

E A B
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
( staccato strumming )

Am
later in their wedding bed
Em
the king was shocked to see
Am
a tender kiss upon the cheek
Em
unleashed an armory
Am
rocket launchers and flamethrowing guns
Em
grew from her sides
B B
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!!
