1001 Hidden Track

E   B A

E
I went to my friends
B                A
Cos I found a fine beat
E
Oh I like to play a rhythm
B                    A
Where the rhythm plays me
E
Play it all day
     B        A
On a balcony above the street
E
Where old Franky and me
B               A
We shuffle with our feet
F#
And old man Georgie
F#
Takes some sugar with his tea
A
when he's stirred by a melody
B
Of hands moving easy
E
See it reminds him
B
Of dreams by the sea
E
Where the breeze blows
        B
Underneath that island tree
E
So we played til the playing
B
Gave us the munchies
        E
Then we played in the kitchen
B
Made the easy gods happy
E                              B
Cos we left them a little chilli-special
         E                     B
Oh and some chocolate we eat because it's sweet
       F#
When I leave I am smiling
F#
At the things I haven't done
     A
Oh I haven't broke a sweat
      B
And I haven't had to run
        E
For the list of one-thousand
B
-and-one that does plague me
   E
On some days
             B          A
When the sun rays don't come

       E                 B  A
Singing parking inspector
             E
Just made my list of one thousand
B                A
One thousand and one
       E                B  A
But ah Parking Inspector
      E                   B  A
Won't let you wreck my fun

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

   E                B
Oh parking inspector
             E
Just made my list of one thousand
B
One thousand and one
       E                B
But ah parking inspector
      E                   B
Won't let you wreck my fun

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

N.C.
(Parking inspector)
N.C
Parking inspector!
E   B A x4

E                B  A
Parking inspector
             E
Just made my list of one thousand
    B             A
And grow a little more
       E                B  A
But ah parking inspector
          E                  B  A
You won't believe what I saw

       F#
On the back of my ticket
F#
With invisible type
      A
Was a map to the place
         B
With one thousand delights
      E
And a key that was one to that
B           A
Spot by the sea
          E
Where the breeze blows
                B      A
Underneath that island tree
