Verse:
A#5
You found a carousel to ride around
G#5
But you get bored, so you tear it down
A#5
Like a kid in a playground,
A#5
putting sand in their mouth
G#5
Spit it out, when youʼre feeling fickle
A#5
And I want to say it shouldnʼt work that way
G#5
Peopleʼs lives ainʼt a game, just ʼcoz you can pay
A#5
Smoking your big fat cigar
G#5
Tweed hat, cravat and four birds on your arm
Chorus:
D#
Iʼm just a tin pan boy,
C#
do you want to take that toy?
F
Hey! You! Mr. Developer!
F
Hey! You! Mr. Developer!
D#C#
Youʼre just a tin town toy, a big fat boy
F
Hey! You! Mr. Inheritor!
F
Crook! Hook! Mr. Proprietor

Verse:
A#5
You kick the small kid off the monkey bars
G#5
Take your mess out of his specs
G#5
and the size of his arm
A#5
Force him to dress in black,
A#5
then make him hold your holster
G#5
Whilst you shoot in the back (back)
A#5
You will say Iʼm only writing songs
G#5
Son get off of your arse and get a proper job
A#5
And snigger at my beat-up boots
G#5
But I tell you Sir, Iʼm coming after you in fiction
Chorus:
D#
Iʼm just a tin pan boy,
C#
do you want to take that toy?
F
Hey! You! Mr. Developer!
F
Hey! You! Mr. Developer!

Youʼre just a tin town toy, a big fat boy
