[Spoken Intro]
N.C.
This huge construction project could change the character of areas on this road forever. That's the worry at
least, to people in what's known as 'Tin Pan Alley'
[Verse 1]
A5
You found a carousel to ride around
G5
But you get bored, so you tear it down
A5
Like a kid in a playground, putting sand in their mouth
G5
Spit it out, when you're feeling fickle
A5
And I want to say it shouldn't work that way
G5
People's lives ain't a game, just 'coz you can pay
A5
Smoking your big fat cigar
G5
Tweed hat, cravat and four birds on your arm
[Chorus]
D C
I'm just a tin pan boy, do you want to take that toy?
E
Hey! You! Mr. Developer!
E
Hey! You! Mr. Developer!
D C
You're just a tin town toy, a big fat boy
E
Hey! You! Mr. Inheritor!
E
Crook! Hook! Mr. Proprietor

[Verse 2]
A5
You kick the small kid off the monkey bars
G5
Take your mess out of his specs and the size of his arm
A5
Force him to dress in black, then make him hold your holster
G5
Whilst you shoot in the back (back)
A5
You will say I'm only writing songs
G5
Son get off of your arse and get a proper job
A5
And snigger at my beat-up boots
G5
But I tell you Sir, I'm coming after you in fiction
[Chorus]
D C
I'm just a tin pan boy, do you want to take that toy?
E
Hey! You! Mr. Developer!
E
Hey! You! Mr. Developer!
D C
You're just a tin town toy, a big fat boy
E
Hey! You! Mr. Inheritor!
