Tin Man (America song)

The song's title and some of its lyrics refer to the Tin Woodman from The Wizard of Oz. Released as the first single from Holiday, "Tin Man" became the band's fourth top-ten hit in the US, spending three weeks at number four on the Billboard Hot 100 in November 1974. The song reached number one on the Billboard easy listening chart in October of that year. In the UK, the song was relegated to the B-side of another album track, "Mad Dog", released in July, but neither side charted. ==Charts==
