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

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

bring a nickel, tap your feet.

Verse 2:

C G C

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

G C F C

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

G C

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

repeat chorus:

3rd verse:

C G C

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

G C F C

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

G C

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.
