My Block:The Four Pennies.
#67 on BB Hot 100 on RUST Records
in 1963.

(They were really The Chiffons and had two hits 
 under the Pennies name..this one and 'When My Boy's Happy.
 They abandoned the 4 Pennies name when 'He's So Fine' hit big.)

I'd be too ashamed to meet you..if you came to 
B
my block (my block.)
B
So, when we had a date, I'd meet you somewhere 
                E
in the heart of town.
    Am
And when you took me home we'd go nowhere near 
E
my block.
        B
Cause I led you to believe that I lived in a 
               E
better part of town.

#2.
E
Would you still love me if you should ever see me
   B
on my block?
(Shang-A-lang-lang..shang-A-lang-lang.)
B
The feeling that you feel would be lost among the 
          E
steel and stone.
(Shang-A-lang-lang..shang-A-lang-lang.)
    Am                                      E
You never see a flower grow..oh, no, not on my, my, 
    
my, my block.
(aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh.)
    B
And when the sun goes down a stranger shouldn't walk 
 E
alone.
(Shang-A-lang-lang..shang-A-lang-lang.)

E                                                  B
After work one night beneath the lamppost light on my 

block (my block.)
(Shang-A-lang-lang..shang-A-lang-lang.)
B
You suddenly appeared and I feared the little game I 
           E
played was through.
(Shang-A-lang-lang..shang-A-lang-lang.)
    Am
But when you took my hand it was so grand walking down
E
my, my, my, my block.
(aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.)
     B
Then right before my very eyes my block became a paradise 
     E
with you.
(Shang-A-lang-lang..shang-A-lang-lang.)

OUTRO:
Am                                        E
Walk up to my house and step inside..it's my block (my block.)
Am                                             E
No more, don't have nothing more to hide..it's my, my, my, 

my block..
Am                                       E
Angels started dancing in the street..on my block..(Fade.)
