[Verse]
Am                        Em
I come from south London I think I'm
 cool.
G                           F#m  
I wear a cheap crombie and that's
   D
 about all
Am                     Em
I go down the pub with all the lads
G                                
Their wearing their chains that they
D
 got from their dads
     Am             Em
But all I got was a rotten cheap 
chain
     G                          D
My wife's got in debt with the club 
book again

[Chorus]
Am           Em
I'm a plastic gangster
Continues after the ad
G                           D
They call me a crown and anchor

[Instrumental]

[Verse]
   Am                      Em
I asked one of my mates to get me 
some books
  G                       D
About the East End their gangs and 
their crooks
  Am                       Em
I bought a cheap car from one of the
 lads
     G                         D
He got it cheap from his car dealing
 dad
    Am                   Em
I'm in my new car, I'm driving it 
home
     G                      D
The next thing I know the engine has
 blown

[Chorus]
Am           Em
I'm a plastic gangster
G                           D
They call me a crown and anchor

[Verse]
  Am                           Em
I went down the West End, the local 
was drag
   G                      D
I had to pay a tenner to go with 
some bag
  Am                            Em
I took her home to her place I gave 
her some stick
      G                     D
The next thing I know the old bag 
was sick

Am                            Em
I stay at home on Thursdays, Minders
 on TV
      G                            
I'm learning Cockney rhyming slang 
   D
of to a tee
   Am                           Em
So when I go out on Fridays I know 
what to say
   G                         D
I wish I was like Arthur and get my 
own way
