Corner Store Chords & Lyrics by Jonathan Richman

Corner Store

guitar chords lyrics

Jonathan Richman

Album : I Must Be KingPlayStop



These are the chords for the song in a key that I find comfortable for singing.
The original version starts with an Eb chord instead of a G.

This is one of the best songs ever written.


G C G
Well I walked past just yesterday
C G
And I couldn't bear that new mall no more.

C D
Now, I can't expect you all to see it my way
C D Em G
But you may not know what was there before
C D C G
And I want them to put back my old corner store


C G
Well I walked past just, uh like I say
C G
and I felt this hurt that would not go home
C D
I can't expect that you're going to see it my way
C D Em G
But you may not know the trees I've known
C D C G
And I want them to put back my old corner store.



C D C D
I know it cost more money to shop there.
Em Bm Em D
But this was love. This was lo-o-o-ove.
C D C D
I know you had to pay more money. I'll pay money. I'll pay more!
D D7
I don't care what the mall has got. I want back that corner store!


G C G
And what did I feel as I walked by slow?
C G
Sorrow. Sorrow all around.
C D
Why I would feel sorrow I now know.
C D Em G
I smelled a ghost smell from the ground:
C D C G
That old wooden smell from the old corner store.

G C G
I walked past one final time
C G
And I wished the worst on the place I shop.
C D
Now I can't expect everyone to feel like I am.
C D Em G
But I spot a trend that has got to stop.
C D C G
And I want them to put back that old corner store.
