(riffs 1 and 2 continue through verses along with rhythm guitar)

Verse 1:

 CGC
 Early in the evenin'   just about supper time,  over by the courthouse,

 GCFC
they're starting to unwind, four kids on the corner,  trying to bring you up,

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

Chorus:

 FCGCFC
 Down on the corner,  out in the street,  Willy and the Poorboys are playin'

 GC
bring a nickel,  tap your feet.

Verse 2:

 CGC
 Rooster hits the washboard, and people just gotta smile,  Blinky thumps the

 GCFC
gut bass and solos for awhile.  Poor-boy twangs the rhythm out on his

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

repeat chorus:

3rd verse:

 CGC
 You don't need a penny just to hang around,  but if you got a nickel won't

 GCFC
you lay your money down.  Over on the corner, there's a happy noise,

 GC
people come from all around to watch the magic boy.

repeat chorus and fade:

Again, if someone could send this to Nevada or tell me how I'd be thankful.

Bill G.

(Play the intro part along with the verse while another guitar strums the
chords)
Early in the evening, just about supper time
I go on by the courthouse where it's startin' to unwind
Four kids on the corner tryin' to bring you up
Willy picks a tune out and he plays it on the harp

Chorus
Down on the corner out in the street
 FCGC
   Willy and the poor boys are playin'
 CFC
   Bring a nickel stamp your feet.
 GC
      Rooster hits the washboard, the people just gotta' smile

New kid thumbs the gut bass and solo's for a while

Poor boy twangs the rhythm out on his Kalamazoo

Willie goes into a dance and doubles on Kazoo.

Chorus
Down on the corner out in the street
Willy and the poor boys are playin'
Bring a nickel stamp your feet.

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 theres a happy bunch

People come from all aound to watch the magic boys
Chorus
Down on the corner out in the street
Willy and the poor boys are playin'
Bring a nickel stamp your feet.
