Here is a link if you don't know it already. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GC5QEa6d5a4

(Key of C) Intro is the chords for the words "Yippie-yi-yo-ki-ay ( ki-ay ) Yippie-yi-yo-ki-ay" Remember, the verses start right after the intro, but the first chord will be F6 on the word "-hand". Tacit (no ukes, just sing) until "hand" at the start of each verse. Sing whole song through ONCE Then REPEAT FIRST VERSE. To END, sing LAST LINE TWICE (with an Am link ) with SLOW DOWN on last "Yippie-yi-yo-ki-ay ( ki-ay ) Here is a nice 'western swing' version by  [|I'm An Old Cowhand From The Rio Grande ... - YouTube]

[|Creedence Clearwater Revival - Down On The Corner] This arrangement follows the Creedence arrangement closely. You can PLAY ALONG with this one. ** It is in the Key of C ** Practice the rhythms for each part of the song, verse and chorus. The verse rhythm pattern follows “wes-tern pic-ture show”. The chorus rhythm basically follows the rhythm of the words. If the verse pattern proves too difficult for you, just do a single strum on the bold words. If it is all too hard, just sing. Remember to keep up those great harmonies when we sing the last verse unaccompanied.
 * Note that the 'Short Riff' equals the chords for the first 2 lines of the Chorus. In other words, just half of the 'Intro Riff.' You will get used to it after hearing a couple of times. Listen to Creedence. **

(Key of C) (Mike usually guides us through this.) However. . Cuppers Intro: Looper x 1 Cuppers x 2 Cuppers + uke strum on ‘C’ (x2) We had trouble picking up the ‘beat’. It could help to just tap the beat (foot or finger) while the cuppers do their intro so you get the beat ready in the brain for when you start strumming. We have to get it first time for everything to work.

3 (Key of C) Posted: **07/01/2019**. NEW VERSION with all arrangement notes included. Sing whole song through ONCE as written Tacit at start of Verses (to the words '**own**' and '**say'**) and Chorus (to ' uku- **LE** -le) Note the 'Tacit' after C chord at end of Chorus, for the words "The sound of love."This links with the 'Tacit' at the start of the last Verse End with CHORUS. Finish with "The sound of love!" (No slow down.) Play 'C C C' (Cha,Cha,Cha) You will notice that any C Bb B C progressions have been put in brackets to indicate 'OPTIONAL'. If you find it too tricky, leave it out. Listen to Eydie Gormé sing BLAME IT ON THE BOSSA NOVA to get the idea. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PaRlW-jz1QQ Note that the chorus/refrain needs 2 groups to sing as the words overlap. (ie the second part starts before the first part is finished.) You'll see when you try it.
