Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]At [A]the[D][A][D][A][D][A]
[D]corner of [A]2nd and L [D]streets,
there [G]used to be noth[A]ing at [D]all.
The [G]railroad track[A]s on
the south [D]side,[Bm]
to the [C]west the substation [Asus4]wall.
[A]Now [Asus4]this basket's [D]full of[A]
plant[D]s and flowers
Care[G]fully [A]arranged[D]
And [G]big rocks [A]splashed with col[D]ors
[Bm]Of d[G]ay -glo fluoresc[A]ent pa[D]int
When I [G]drive by Georgia's [D]corner
It [Bb]always puts a [Am]smile upon
my [D]face[Am][D]
We [G]each could pick a [D]corner of our own
[Am]to try to make a better
[D]place.[A][D]
[A]I don't k[D]now if G[A]eorge is homel[D]ess.
He [G]rides his [A]bike everywhere.
[D]With gri[G]zzled bea[A]rd
and base[D]ball cap
[Bm]and pulled o[C]ver short cropped hair.
[Asus4]But his f[A]ace is w[D]orn[A]
and [D]weathered,
he's got [G]periwinkle [A]eyes[D]
He's a [G]gardener, a [Am]neighbor,
[A]an [D]artist,
an[Bm]d he wor[G]ks and bea[A]utifies
[D]When I dri[G]ve by Georgia's cor[D]ner,
it [Bb]always puts a [Am]smile upon
my [D]face[Am][D]
We [G]each could pick a [D]corner of our own
[Am]To try to make a better
[D]place[A][D]
[Bm]Most of us are running round
Com[E]manded by the calendar and [Bm]clock[E]
No [Bm]time to improve things,
or [E]wonder when the treadmill's
[C]gonna stop.[A]
The corner [D]changes [A]with
the sea[D]sons,
[G]sometimes from [A]week to [D]week.
He's [G]out there [A]in the au[D]tumn [Bm]chill,
in [C]the summer's burning heat.
[Asus4]I've seen[A] pink carn[D]ations,[A]
daf[D]fodils,
[G]and [A]orange [D]marigolds
[G]Sometimes [A]it's just
rock[D]s and sticks[Bm]
in the [G]winter [A]when it's cold
[D]But when I dri[G]ve by Geo[D]rge's Corner,
it [Bb]always puts a [Am]smile upon
my [D]face[Am][D]
We [G]each could pick a [D]corner of our own
[Am]And try to make a better place[D][Am]
[D]A better p[Am]lace
[D][Am]
