Clockwork Vaudeville Tab par Steam Powered Giraffe

Intro (C, Am, F, G) x6

Am                       G
When I was a young boy I went down to the county fair
Am                                G
Brought myself a nickel, bought a pickle, had change to spare
Am                                 G
Thought I'd spend a cent or two to see what the robots could do


           C          Am     (F, G)
There were wires all around
C          Am     (F, G)
Electrical sounds
C          Am     (F, G)
Steam from their exhausts
C          Am   F         G
Gears and coils all criss-crossed (Ah, ah, ah ha ha, Eay!)


C           Am           F         G
Everybody's going to the clockwork vaudeville
C           Am        F         G
Everybody wants to see the show
C                 Am        F         G
People crowd the door and scream and shout for more
C                Am  F         G
While music and song fill the air

(C Am F G) x4

           Am                G
There were four metal people dressed oh so sharply
     Am                                  G
They sung and danced a catchy tune with automaton robotic ease
       Am                          G
Their guitar strings hummed to the beat kept by their tambourine


C              Am     F           G
Boilers making steam (ah ha ha ha ha)
C         Am     F           G
Metal gleaming (ah ha ha ha ha)
C                 Am     F           G
Songs with a good tune (ah ha ha ha ha)
            C          Am     F                  G
That would stick with you all through the afternoon (Ooo, ooo, ooo who who)

C                Am  F         G
While music and song fill the air

  Am                 F              G
A man came up to me after the show, after the show

(He had a moustache)
    Am                               F                    G
And asked me if I'd like to meet the robots up close, the robots up close

(Not programmed to bite)
     Am                  F                  G
Well they greeted me and one shook my hand, one shook my hand

(Absolutely cool)
    Am                               F                     G
And asked me if I'd like to join his robot band, I said oh yeah

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-ah-ah
