Biography:

Steam Powered Giraffe (SPG) is an American steampunk musical comedy project formed in San Diego in 2008, self-described as "a musical act that combines robot pantomime, puppetry, ballet, comedy, projections, and music". Created and led by identical twins David Michael Bennett and Isabella "Bunny" Bennett, the act combines music and improvisational comedy on-stage, although their studio works focus almost solely on music.

Steam Powered Giraffe has its own fictional mythology

Bm E
Finest marksman in the west
A D
Rex Marksley
Bm E
When it came to gun slinging he was the best

A
Rex Marksley at an younger age
D
shot holes in cans without a missin'
Bm
sadly they were in the pantry
A
so beans painted the whole darn kitchen

A
His parents then let him shoot
D
the empty cans out on their fence
Bm
but Rex trick shot out all the nails
A
so out the fence all their cows went


His father cried


A D
Rex Marksley
Bm E
Finest marksman in the west
A D
Rex Marksley
Bm E
When it came to gun slinging he was the best

A
Rex Marksley was a tinkerer
D
an engineer extraordinaire
Bm
He made quick-reloading gadgets
A
so he could fire non-stop with panache and flare

A
He became a gun for hire
D
and a hero whereever he roamed
Bm
he disarmed forty bandits one time
A
with two gunshots all on his own

A D
Rex Marksley
Bm E
Finest marksman in the west
A D
Rex Marksley
Bm E
When it came to gun slinging he was the best

D A E D
He had heart and a righteous stand
F#min A E F#min
and they tell of his stories across the land

D A E D
He jammed the guns that fired his way
F#min A E F#min
by shooting bullets into their barrels they say

D A E F#min
He shot lightning from his hands with a miraculous invention
D A E F#min
and zapped that evil demon train back to it's own dimension

D A E F#min
That giant copper ore golem oh it was a fright
D A E F#min
till Rex projectiled pick axes with dynamite

D A E F#min
He fought the corrupt Rattlesnake King and it hissed in agony
D A E F#min
then Rex taught all the jackalopes to yodel in harmony

Here we go now

D A E D
Rex Marksley rode across the West bringing justice to the land
F#min A E F#min
He tamed enormous vultures reined and flew them with one hand

D A E D
All the women blushed and fainted when Rex winked his eye
F#min A E F#min
and the bad guys always fell to their demise

D A E D
The man was a legend and hero through and through
F#min A E F#min
and Rex was a friend to the battered and the bruised

D A E D
He had seen a lot of wonderments in his glory days
F#min A E F#min
and he died an old man alone on the prairie they say
