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

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