Creedence Clearwater Revival – Down On the Corner

(Album: Willy and the Poor Boys (1969))

C                     G                       C

Early in the evenin’ just about supper time,

C                               G                C

Over by the courthouse, they’re starting to unwind

F                       C

Four kids on the corner trying to bring you up,

C                              G               C

Willy picks a tune out and he blows it on the harp.

CHORUS:

F           C        G          C                     

Down on the corner,  out in the street, 

F                   C                                   G               C

Willy and the Poorboys are playin’ bring a nickel, tap your feet.

Rooster hits the washboard, and people just gotta smile

Blinky thumps the gut bass and solos for awhile.

Poor-boy twangs the rhythm out on his Kalamazoo.

And Willy goes in to a dance and doubles on Kazoo.

CHORUS

You don’t need a penny just to hang around,

But if you got a nickel won’t you lay your money down.

Over on the corner, there’s a happy noise,

people come from all around to watch the magic boy.

CHORUS
