Standin’ On The Corner

Wayne James

Chorus

G

I’m standin’ on the corner and the rain comes down.

C G

Standin’ on the corner. Ain’t nobody around.

D D7

Waitin’ for my baby, takin’ a bus from uptown.

G

Standin’ on the corner and she ain’t here yet.

C G

Standin’ in the rain, gettin’ soaking wet.

D G

Standin’ on the corner and the rain keeps comin’ down.

G

I’m sittin’ at home on a rainy ol’ day.

C G

Watchin’ the TV, passin’ time away.

D D7

When my baby called and said she’d like to come on by.

G

I said it’s kinda boring. There ain’t much to do.

C G

But if you wanna come by, well that’s up to you.

D G

Meet me at the bus on the corner at a quarter to five.

Chorus

G

I walked to the corner at a quarter to five.

C G

The uptown bus had just arrived.

D D7

The bus didn’t stop. It just passed on by.

G

Well, I thought to myself, it musta been the wrong one.

C G

I’ll just wait and another will come.

D G

I’m still standin’ on the corner. It’s a quarter to nine.

Chorus

G

Well, I crawled back home about half past ten.

C G

Took off my clothes. I was soaked to the skin.

D D7

When the phone rang, it was my baby on the line.

G

She nagged at me and asked me where I was to.

C G

I was at the bus stop waitin’ for you.

D G

She said “I’m not comin’ over. I’ve changed my mind”

CHANGED YOUR MIND
