[Verse 1]
[G]Parking [C]Inspector[G]
[F]
[G][F]
[Bb][G][F]
[Bb][G]
- Just made my
list of one thousand
One thousand and one
[F][Bb]

[Verse 2]
[G]
But [Cm]ah Parking Inspector
Went to my [C]friends
When I [F]found a fine beat
Cos I [G]like to play a [F]rhythm
Where the [G]rhythm plays [D]me
Play [C]it all day
[Cm]On a balcony[F] above the street
Where old [G]Franky and me we
Shuffle with our feet
And old [C]man Georgie
Takes some [F]sugar with his tea
When [G]he's stirred by a melody
Of hands moving easy
You [C]see it reminds him
[F]Dreams by the [G]sea
Where the breeze blows
Underneath that island tree

[Verse 3]
And we [C]played til the playing
Gave [F]us the munchies
Then we [G]played in the kitchen
Made the easy gods happy
Cos we [C]left them a [Cm]little chili- [F]special
And some [G]chocolate we eat
because it's sweet
When I [C]leave I am smiling
At the [F]things I haven't done
Oh I [G]haven't broke a sweat
And I haven't had to run
For the [C]list of [F]one- thousand
- And- one that does plague me
On [G]some days
[Cm]When the sun [G]rays don't come
[F]

[Verse 4]
[G]
Parking Inspector
[F]Just made my lis[G]t of
one thousand
One thousand and one

[Verse 5]
But [F]ah [G]Parking Inspector
[F](Won't let [G]you[Cm] wreck my fun)

[Verse 6]
When I [C]get to my car
I am [F]faced with a sight
That is [C]strange and it's sad
And it's [G]mad it's not right
There's [C]one thousand and one
Spaces [F]free but I see
That he find me guilty
Of the [Cm]time over [Bb]fee
Now I [Cm]know why my mother
Why my [F]mother warned me
Said 'you [G]might be lucky
But know nothing comes for free
She [C]is right [F]- entirely
Cos the [G]ticket paid the song
That I sing to [Bb]this beat

[Verse 7]
[C]Parking inspector
[F]Just made my lis[Cm]t of one[C] thousand
One [F]thousand and one
But ah [C]parking inspector
[F]Won't let[G] you wreck my [C]fun[G]
[Bb]Cos when I p[C]ay for my ticket
I won't [F]curse and despise
No i'll [G]run into the girl
With the slinky blue eyes
Then my [Cm]list of one thousand and [F]one
Will remain
I had [G]plans to get it done
But now my plans they
have changed
[F][F#dim]

[Verse 8]
[G]
Parking Inspect[F]or
[F#dim]Just made my l[G]ist of
one thousand
One thousand and one

[Verse 9]
But [F]ah [F#dim]Parking I[G]nspector[F]
[F#dim]Just

[Verse 10]
[G]listen to the bass
and the funky drums

[Verse 11]
[F]Parking Inspector
Just made my [G]list of one thousand
Grow a little more
But ah [F]parking inspector
[F#dim]You won't belie[G]ve what I saw
On the [F]back of my ticket
With invisible [F#dim]type
Was a [G]map to the place
With one thousand delights
And a [F]key that was one to that
Spot by the sea where the [G]breeze
Blows underneath [C]that island [Cm]tree
