In the marshlands, a spaceman lands,
GEmAmEm
pleading his demands, to the robot band
Riff #1
Em
Rav: “Please hear my plight,
C
to save the green apple in the sky,
C#dim/E
from the space giant’s appetite,
GD
for depraved delights.
Em
He followed W.I.N.K. the satellite,
C
W.I.N.K.’s trail of blue matter bright,
C#dim/E
the giant’s got a one-track mind,
GDEm
and will eat everything just to find the robot band.”
CGDEm
What'll you say, when asked to saved the day,
CGD
what would you do to save a world?
CGDEm
Over bleak horizons and under dark conditions
CGD
let the robot band do the work
Em (or bass line)
And so it was, Steam Powered Giraffe set about to confront the Space Giant
CGDEmCGD
The robot band started work, to meticulously convert
CGDEmCGDEm
W.I.N.K. the SteamJunk from the sky, into a functional transport device
Em
Spine: Rabbit are you ready?
C
Rabbit: Oh, you bet your butt I’m ready.
C#dim/E
Spine: Hatchworth are you ready?
GD
Hatchworth: Yes, but I’m not certain what for.
CGDEm
Launched into space to save the human race
CGD
and the green apple in the sky
CGDEm
Ride W.I.N.K. the Satellite into endless night,
CGD
at speeds of near light
CGDEm
The journey long, the destination nigh,
CGD
the green apple planet-sized
CGDEm
And missing a bite, alone in the night,
CGD
W.I.N.K. shuddered with delight
GEmAmEm
In the Vice Quadrant, there loomed the Space Giant,
GEmAmEm
it’s grin the horizon, it had found the band
EmC
SG: “Finally you’ve come, the parallel universe I’m from
C#dim/EGD
Steam Powered Giraffe is done, they left a hole in me
EmC
So I’ve come all this way, all the while my appetite could not be sate
C#dim/EGD
so I want one last show, before I go.”
Em (or bass line)
But first, the Space Giant needed proof that this truly was Steam Powered Giraffe,
so it proposed a duel and revealed a guitar made out of the cosmos.
The ensuing duel would come to be known as the most awesome
duel in all the universe.
(Play the solo here)
Em (or bass line) through the aaaahs in the middle of the solo
GDEm
La doom da da doom da da da
GAmEm
La doom da da doom da da da
GDEm
La doom da da doom da da da
DEm
La doom daaaaaaaa
Em
Leedeedeedeedeedeedeedee
Em (or bass line)
The duel ended. The Space Giant streamed tears like waterfalls under
the green apple sky, healing her, and giving her a salty ocean.
During the course of Steam Powered Giraffe’s impromptu performance, the
Space Giant shrunk down into the Space Miniscule, and then into Nothing At All.
The robots and W.I.N.K. returned to Earth. There, W.I.N.K. spoke his final words.
CGDEm
“My friends return home, I must journey alone,
CGD
to the green apple in the sky,
CGDEm
If there’s a thing called love, it waits for me above,
CGD
it’s time for goodbyes.”
CGDEm
W.I.N.K. your bravery, will not be forgotten,
CGD
your love will not be lost
CGDEm
The Space Giant gone, Earth’s peace prolonged,
CGDEm
humanity carries on… at least for now
