Verse:
[Cm]Oh, Mr. Hamilton, wh[Fm]at have you done?
[Cm]Look at this terrible tr[G]end you've begun!
[Fm]You make me sick, you c[Cm]ontemptible dog,
I blame y[G]ou for the death of the [Cm]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]How things have changed from when I[Cm] was a boy!
Cl[G]ockwork would tick and would br[Cm]ing me much joy
Bu[Fm]t, with your advent, there's no[Cm] need to wind ?
E[G]verything charming has bee[G]n left behind!
Oh, Mr. Hamilton, you dirty fiend
Your modern timepiece is cruel and obscene!
I was a lover of gears great and small
T[G]hey all were my friends and you've m[Cm]urdered 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
Because y[G]ou, y[G]ou, y[G]ou, y[G]ou, Y[G]OU
Caused the DEATH OF THE C[Fm]OG![Cm][G][Cm]
Aaa[Cm]ahhh...
