DOWN ON THE CORNER
[Verse 1]
C G C
Early in the evenin’, just about supper time. Over by the courthouse,
G C F C
they’re starting to unwind. Four kids on the corner, trying to bring you up.
G C
Willy picks a tune out and he blows it on the harp.
[Chorus]
F C G C F C
Down on the corner, out in the street. Willy and the Poorboys are playin’,
G C

[Verse 2]

[Chorus]
F C G C F C
Down on the corner, out in the street. Willy and the Poorboys are playin’,
G C
bring a nickel, tap your feet.
| Riff 1 | Riff 1 | Riff 2 | Riff 1 |
F C G C F C
Down on the corner, out in the street. Willy and the Poorboys are playin’,
G C
bring a nickel, tap your feet.
| Riff 1 | Riff 1 | Riff 2 | Riff 1 |

G C
bring a nickel, tap your feet.
F C G C F C
Down on the corner, out in the street. Willy and the Poorboys are playin’,
G C
bring a nickel, tap your feet.

Down on the corner, out in the street. Willy and the Poorboys are playin’,
G C
bring a nickel, tap your feet.
