Corner Store Chords by Jonathan Richman

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Well, I walked past [Ab] just yesterday
[Eb] _
And I couldn't bear that new [Ab] mall no [Eb] more
I can't expect you all [Ab] to see it my [Bb] way
But you may not [Bb] know what [Cm] was there [Gm] before
And [Ab] I want them [Bb] to put back [Fm] my old [F] corner [Eb] store
Well, _ _ _ _ I walked past just [Ab] like [Eb] I said
And I felt this hurt that [Ab] would not [Eb] go on
I can't expect that you're [Ab] gonna see it my [Bb] way
[Ab] But you may [Bb] not know [Cm] the trees [Gm] I've known
[Ab] And I want [Bb] them to put back [Fm] my old [Eb] corner store
[Ab] I [Bb] know it costs more [Ab] money to shop there
[Bb] But this [Cm] was love, [Gm] this [Cm] was love
[Gm] _ _ [Ab]
I know you [Bb] had to pay more [Ab] money, I'll pay [Bb] money, I'll pay more
I don't care what the mall has got, I want back that corner store
[Eb] And what did I feel when [Ab] I walked [Eb] by slow
Sorrow, sorrow, [Ab] all [Eb] around _
Why I would feel [Ab] sorrow I now [Bb] know
[Ab] I smelled [Bb] a ghost smell [Cm] from the [Gm] ground
[Ab] That old wooden [Bb] smell from [Fm] the old corner [Eb] store
Bum-a-num-a [Ab]-num-a-num-a-way-o
[Bb] Bum-a-num-a [Ab]-num-a-way-o-webo
[Eb] Bum-a-num-a [Ab]-num-a-no
[Bb] Corner store, [Eb] corner store
Bum-a-num-a [Ab]-num-a-num-a-way-o
[Bb] Bum-a-num-a [Ab]-num-a-way-o [Eb]-webo
Bum-a-num [Ab]-a-num-a-no
[Bb] Corner store, [Eb] corner store _
_ _ _ _ _ I walked past [Ab] one [Eb] final time
And I wished the worst [Ab] on the place I [Eb] shop
_ Now I can't expect [Ab] everyone to feel [Bb] like I'm
[Ab] But I [Bb] spot a trend [Cm] that has got [Gm] to stop
[Ab] And I want [Bb] them to put [Fm] back that old [Eb] corner store
Bum-a [Ab]-num-a-num-a-num-a-way [Bb]-o
Bum-a [Ab]-num-a-num-a-way-o [Eb]-webo
Bum-a [Ab]-num-a-num-a-no
[Bb] Corner store, [Eb] corner store
Bum-a [Ab]-num-a-num-a-num-a-way [Bb]-o
Bum-a [Ab]-num-a-num-a-way-o [Eb]-webo
Bum-a [Ab]-num-a-num-a-no
[Bb] Corner store, corner [Eb] store _
