E5
In the court of Augustine The Twelfth
B5
The king reprimanded his men
B5
And demanded they
E5
Put to good use all his wealth
A5 B5
to cure his deep ennui
E5 A5 B5
For you see, he found that he was sad and lonely
E5 A5
Ever since his wife, the queen, got mad and
B5
Rode off on his steed
E5 A5 B5 x2 (underneath the cello/violin)
Finish with B Ringing
-----------------------
E5
In a glen beyond the castle wall
B5
There was a tinker
B5
And he was a thinker
E5
The smartest man in all the world
A5 B5
He made a mechanical girl
E5 A5 B5
For you see, his daughter passed away that summer
E5 A5
And though he knew he could not replace her
B5
He missed his family

(Staccato strumming)
A5 E5
Suddenly a knock at the door went ra-ta-ta-ta-ta
A5 E5
And the kingsmen came in blowing horns ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
A5
"By order of His Highness
E5
We're to take you and that...thing
B5
To present your marvel to the king."
E5 A5 B5
And so, over glen and through the castle walls
E5 A5 B5
Over the moat, and into the great castle hall
B5 B<-----let ring
When her master urged,
The robot girl emerged
E5 A5 B5 x 2
E5
When the king laid eyes upon the girl
B5
He was delighted
B5
His men all were knighted
E5
He yelled aloud for all the world
B5 A5
"I'll take her for my queen!"
E5
And the man screamed
E5 A5
"Please don't take my child!
A5 B5
I beg you, mighty king!"
E5 A5
And they grabbed him by his tailcoat
B5
And threw him in the moat
E5 A5 B5

(staccato strumming)
A5
Later in their wedding bed
E5
The king was shocked to see
A5
A tender kiss upon the cheek
E5
Unleashed an armory
A5
Rocket launchers and flamethrowing guns
E5
Grew from her sides
B5 B5
And she grew to seven times her size
Run!
(strum each around 4 times, power chords are welcome too)
E5 C5 G5 F5 E5 B5 E5 C5 B5 <---let ring
E5 A5 B5 x2
E5
On the morn of August twenty-fourth
B5
He was dejected when lest he expected
E5
A knock was heard upon the door
A5 B5
It was his robot girl
E5 A5 B5
For you see, he'd made her indestructible
E5 A5
It seems and she destroyed that awful kingdom
B5
And they lived happily.
E5
So you see, the moral of the story is:
A5 B5
Never take a child away from a loving parent
E5 A5 B5
Especially not ones who make children who shoot rockets from their eyes
E5 A5 B5 till end
End on E
Hope you enjoy this one more coming soon!!
