"Down on the Corner" by Creedence Clearwater Revival
TAB by Aaron Prescott
Good song. I love CCR, they have a lot of good material. I kind of scrunched the rhythm
on the Guitar 3 part to save room, so I'll give you a breakdown of the rhythm. Once you
get the rhythm once, it's the same throughout the song.
