CORNER OF EDISON BOULEVARD written by Sheldon Manoo (1998)






Intro: C Bb Gm Gm

F          Baby wrote me a letter
Gm       That said she’s back in town
F          She said that I should meet her
Em       We got lots to talk about
F          May have read that letter
Gm       50 times in the last two days
F          Anticipating tomorrow
Em       To meet her in that place
C         Now that place got a story
Bb        That I don’t like to tell
F          But since Baby’s back
Am       Oh guess I might as well!
F          Was on a rainy day
Gm       Just visited a good pal
F          I went to get a taxi
Em       Corner of Edison Boulevard
C         And there she was waiting
Bb        For what I don’t know
F          And just in being friendly
Am       I went to say hello
C         Maybe I was just lucky
Bb        I thought this was faith
F          She gave me her number
Am       Said let’s make a date!
F          And on that night was special
Gm       She gave me a kiss
F          Said you can call me Baby
Em       There’s  much more to this
C         Having her was exiting
Bb        She was just so cool
F          I was so respected
Am       Many boys would drool
F          Baby would take a bad day
Gm       Into a night of goodness
F          She always had the answer
Em       She was my happiness
C         One day I got a phone call
Bb       It was from my Baby
F          She said wear my red hat
Am      Come to where we first meet
F          I arrived half hour later
Gm      To see what I had to do
F          A man handed me an envelope
Em       Said I think this is for you
F          He said I don’t even know her
Gm      She just handed me that
F          I live in that house there
Em       She said please give the boy in a red hat
C         Guess you know what it said
Bb       Accepting it was so hard
F          I cried under a tree there
Am      Corner of Edison Boulevard

FLUTE SOLO CHORDS 4 Measures: (F  Gm  C  Bb)

F          Now about tomorrow
Gm      Should I be happy or sad
F          Guess I’ll know after leaving
