Robot Boy by The Ghost Of A Saber Tooth Tiger

Robot Boy ( The GOASST )

      Gm                   F#
On the first day, it started to rain
      C#                        C#m
Children were laughing, and went out to play
      Gm                           F#
But soon all the streets, were rivers and streams
      C#                           F
And creatures were trickling in front of the deep
      Eb                          Gm
Cars floating like ships, over skyscraper tips
      Eb7                    D7
The tallest of trees swaying like seaweed

    G         F             Bb
Aluminum and paper clips
    F          Cm          D     Eb    Bb
Refrigerator parts and microchips
    G          F       Bb
A rudimentary robot boy
    F              Cm              CmX
A heart of rubber bands and broken toys

       Gm                  F#
Just before dusk, afraid he might rust
       C#                 C#m
He climbed aboard, an upside down bus
       Gm                  F#
With bottle-cap eyes, he soon realized 
       C#                  F
That nobody else, but he had survived
       Eb                          Gm
Sifting through the debris, of kindred machines
       Eb7                         D7
Drifting through a graveyard, of sunken cities


    G            F         Bb
Aluminum and paper clips
    F              Cm          D   Eb  Bb
Refrigerator parts and microchips
    G           F       Bb
A rudimentary robot boy
    F             Cm                  CmX
A heart of rubber bands and broken toys



       Gm                  F#
For thirty nights, with no land in sight
       C#                  C#m
He never was hungry, or lonesome or tired
       Gm                   F#
His mechanical brain, could not go insane
       C#                   F
His metallic skin, could never feel pain
       Eb                   Gm
The whales gathered round, in sibilant sound
       Eb7                  D7
They told him about, the only way out:

        B                         Em
"If you want to survive, if you want to shine�
        A                         D                
Then you've got to find, someone of your kind
        B                          Em        Em7
As they pulled him away, across the waves"


He saw a pretty face, made of tin cans  and lace


    G              F         Bb
Aluminum and balloon lips
    F              Cm        D     Eb     Bb
Refrigerator parts and cardboard hips
    G              F        Bb
A rudimentary robot girl
    F              Cm                             CmX
A heart of rubber bands and plastic pearls
