Down on the corner of the street
 
Where I was born we used to meet
             Gm  F
And sing the old songs
               Gm   Bb
We called them dole songs
         F
And we'd harmonize so clear
 
Even though it was the beer
              Gm    F
That made the tears run
 G        Gm    Fm   Gm
About the years gone by
            Cm        
And we'd go home and kiss the wife
Ab       Bb
Hoping a kiss could change your life
             F
That's how romance is
 
No second chances
        Ab Ebm  Gm   Bb
Back in my home town

Things aren't so very different now
F#       Ab      Bb 
Poor folk   must get along somehow

You live forever

On the never-ne_ev_ver
