Intro:
E MajorE  BB A augmentedA

Verse:
E MajorE
I went to my friends
BB        A augmentedA
Cos I found a fine beat
E MajorE
Oh I like to play a rhythm
BB          A augmentedA
Where the rhythm plays me
E MajorE
Play it all day
   BB    A augmentedA
On a balcony above the street
E MajorE
Where old Franky and me
BB        A augmentedA
We shuffle with our feet

F#F#
And old man Georgie
F#F#
Takes some sugar with his tea
A augmentedA
when he's stirred by a melody
BB
Of hands moving easy
E MajorE
See it reminds him
BB
Of dreams by the sea
E MajorE
Where the breeze blows
    BB
Underneath that island tree


E MajorE
So we played til the playing
BB
Gave us the munchies
    E MajorE
Then we played in the kitchen
BB
Made the easy gods happy
E MajorE               BB
Cos we left them a little chilli-special
     E MajorE           BB
Oh and some chocolate we eat because it's sweet
    F#F#
When I leave I am smiling
F#F#
At the things I haven't done
   A augmentedA
Oh I haven't broke a sweat
   BB
And I haven't had to run
    E MajorE
For the list of one-thousand
BB
-and-one that does plague me
  E MajorE
On some days
       BB     A augmentedA
When the sun rays don't come

Chorus:
    E MajorE         BB A augmentedA
Singing parking inspector
       E MajorE
Just made my list of one thousand

One thousand and one
    E MajorE        BB A augmentedA
But ah Parking Inspector
   E MajorE          BB A augmentedA
Won't let you wreck my fun


Verse:
    E MajorE
When I get to my car
   BB      A augmentedA
I am faced with a sight
    E MajorE
That is strange and it's sad
    BB       A augmentedA
And it's mad it's not right
    E MajorE
There's one thousand and one
BB         A augmentedA
Spaces free but I see
    E MajorE
That he find me guilty
    BB     A augmentedA
Of the time over fee
   F#F#
Now I know why my mother
F#F#
Why my mother warned me
     A augmentedA
Said 'you might be lucky
     BB
But know nothing comes for free'
    E MajorE   BB
She is right - entirely
    E MajorE   N.C.
Cos the ticket paid the song
N.C.        BB
That I sing to this beat

But ah parking inspector
   E MajorE          BB
Won't let you wreck my fun


Verse:
      F#F#
Cos when I pay for my ticket
F#F#
I won't curse and despise
    A augmentedA
No i'll run into the girl
     BB
With the slinky blue eyes
    E MajorE
Then my list of one thousand and one
BB
Will remain
   E MajorE
I had plans to get it done
      BB
But now my plans they have changed ah
