The Death Of The Cog

Verse:
Cm                  FmOh, Mr. Hamilton, what have you done?
Cm                      GLook at this terrible trend you've begun!
Fm                     CmYou make me sick, you contemptible dog,
         G                       CmI blame you for the death of the cog!

Clocks used to be such magnificent things
Beautiful sprockets and dazzling springs
But you gave the people your digital beast
And in turn now all gears are deceased

Chorus:

Fm                                 CmHow things have changed from when I was a boy!
  G                              CmClockwork would tick and would bring me much joy
  Fm                             Cm   But, with your advent, there's no need to wind –
 G                         GEverything charming has been left behind!

Oh, Mr. Hamilton, you dirty fiend
Your modern timepiece is cruel and obscene!
I was a lover of gears great and small
 G                                   CmThey all were my friends and you've murdered them all!

Aaaahhh...

How could a person commit such a crime -
To murder immaculate keepers of time?
Why should a person so foul get away?
Hamilton, you're gonna pay!

So, Mr. Hamilton, just watch your back
Hide all those digital clocks on your rack
They'll soon end up smashed to bits in a bog
         G    G    G    G    GBecause you, you, you, you, YOU
                         Fm     Cm    G    CmCaused the DEATH OF THE COG!
   CmAaaahhh...
