The Cat Empire – 1001 Hidden Track (Guitar)

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

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
