Voltaire The Mechanical Girl chords

The Mechanical Girl by Voltaire

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
