Crowd Around the Corner
Written and recorded by Earl Thomas Conley

C     Am                 Em
Those stormy years leave deep and endless
F                 C
Trails across his face
                       G7            C
He'll wander back when morning rolls around

            Am                 Em
For it's an old man's right to spend his life 
     F               C
Just searching for a place
                     G7               C
Where he can sit and watch the sun go down

       Am                 Em
Time's run its course and freed the horse 
     F                      C
That pulled him through his prime
                       G7              C
And placed a different light above his brow

    Am               Em
Now towering rows of buildings grow
   F                C
In fields he left behind
                        G7         C
And life seems twice as heavy as a plow

   Am
So crowd around the corner boys
    C
And take your good old time
                                F
And pass along a piece of yesterday

  Am               Em
A tender breeze of memories 
   F                    C
Is blowing through your mind
                  G7                C
Softer than those strands of silver-gray

    Am                   Em
The golden chain the old men clings
       F                  C
To the watch inside their vest
                          G7           C
That tells them when it's time to move along

     Am                   Em
Just rambling through the avenues 
        F                 C
They'll sometimes stop to rest
                        G7               C
But it's hard to find a place where they belong

   Am
So crowd around the corner boys
    C
And take your good old time
                                F
And pass along a piece of yesterday

  Am               Em
A tender breeze of memories 
   F                    C
Is blowing through your mind
                  G7                C
Softer than those strands of silver-gray

                     G7                Am
And sweeter than the things we've seen today
