Creedence Clearwater Revival - Down On The Corner.
Transcribed by Daniel Chatterton

This version is up one octave from other versions. It seems to fit the song better.
Don't be freightened by the big numbers, it's actually a bit easier to play since the frets are closer together.

Notes:
-A single dot above (or in some cases below) a note means that it is staccato, or only played breifly, then muted.
-I've labelled the sections according to which are the same, using A, B, and C. C is the chorus.


A:
  1  +  2  +  3  +  4  +   1  +  2  +  3  +  4  + 
G|---------------.--------|---------------.--------|
D|10-------------10-10----|---.--------9--10-10----|
A|------12----10----------|12-10-10----------------|
E|------------------------|------------------------|

A:
  1  +  2  +  3  +  4  +   1  +  2  +  3  +  4  + 
G|---------------.--------|---------------.--------|
D|10-------------10-10----|---.--------9--10-10----|
A|------12----10----------|12-10-10----------------|
E|------------------------|------------------------|

B:
  1  +  2  +  3  +  4  +   1  +  2  +  3  +  4  + 
G|10-------------10-10----|---.--------9--12-12----|
D|------12----10-.--------|12-10-10----9--.--------|
A|------------------------|------------------------|
E|------------------------|------------------------|

A:
  1  +  2  +  3  +  4  +   1  +  2  +  3  +  4  +

A|------12----10----------|12-10-10----12----------|

Chorus
This part I expanded to fit the notes more neatly. There is no change in tempo.
Also feel free to play around with the beat of the chorus a bit, adding notes or moving them around.

C:
  1    +    2    +    3    +    4    +     1    +    2    +    3    +    4    + 
G|-----------------------.----------------|-----------------------.----------------|
D|--------------------10-10--10-10--------|--------------------10-10--10-10--------|
A|8---------8-----------------------------|10--------10----------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------|----------------------------------------|

C:
  1    +    2    +    3    +    4    +     1    +    2    +    3    +    4    + 
G|-----------------------.----------------|-----------------------.----------------|
D|--------------------10-10--10-10--------|--------------------10-10--10-10--------|
A|8---------8-----------------------------|10--------10----------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------|----------------------------------------|



Alternate Chorus
If you like playing with a few chords, give this a try.

C:
  1    +    2    +    3    +    4    +     1    +    2    +    3    +    4    + 
G|-----------------------.----------------|-----------------------.----------------|
D|10--------10--------10-10--10-10--------|12--------12--------10-10--10-10--------|
A|8---------8-----------------------------|10--------10----------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------|----------------------------------------|



The whole song goes in this order:
(4 bars of rest*) | A A B A | A A B A | C C | A A B A | C C 
A A B A | C C | (4 bars of rest*) | A A B A | C C C C

*Note: each section is 2 bars, so waiting 4 bars is the same amount of time as 2 A's (A A) takes.
