DOWN ON THE CORNER

Creedence Clearwater Revival

 

[G] Early in the evenin', [D] just about supper [G] time

[G] Over at the court house, they're [D] startin' to [G] unwind

[C] Four kids on the corner, [G] tryin' to bring you up

[G] Willie breaks a tune out and he [D] blows it on the [G] harp

 

[C] Down on the [G] corner

[D] Out in the [G] street

Willie and the [C] poor boys are [G] playin'

Bring a [D] nickel, tap your [G] feet

 

[G] Rooster plays the washboard, [D] people just got to [G] smile

[G] Blinky plucks the gut bass, and [D] solos for a [G] while

[C] Poor boy twangs the rhythm out [G] on his Kalamazoo,

[G] Willie goes into a dance and [D] doubles on [G] Kazoo

 

[C] Down on the [G] corner

[D] Out in the [G] street

Willie and the [C] poor boys are [G] playin'

Bring a [D] nickel, tap your [G] feet

 

[G] You dont need a penny, [D] just to hang [G] around

But [G] if you've got a nickel, won't you [D] lay your money [G] down

[C] Over at the court house, [G] there's a happy noise

[G] People come from all around to [D] watch the magic [G] boys

 

[C] Down on the [G] corner

[D] Out in the [G] street

Willie and the [C] poor boys are [G] playin'

Bring a [D] nickel, tap your [G] feet

 

[C] Down on the [G] corner

[D] Out in the [G] street

Willie and the [C] poor boys are [G] playin'

Bring a [D] nickel, tap your [G] feet
