Four Pennies Chiffons - My Block Chords
My Block:The Four Pennies.
#67 on BB Hot 100 on RUST Records
in 1963.
(They were really The Chiffons and had two hits
under the Pennies name..this one and 'When My Boy's Happy.
They abandoned the 4 Pennies name when 'He's So Fine' hit big.)

#1.
E
I'd be too ashamed to meet you..if you came to
B
my block (my block.)
B
So, when we had a date, I'd meet you somewhere
E
in the heart of town.
Am
And when you took me home we'd go nowhere near
E
my block.
B
Cause I led you to believe that I lived in a
E
better part of town.

E
Would you still love me if you should ever see me
B
on my block?
(Shang-A-lang-lang..shang-A-lang-lang.)
B
The feeling that you feel would be lost among the
E
steel and stone.
(Shang-A-lang-lang..shang-A-lang-lang.)
Am E
You never see a flower grow..oh, no, not on my, my,
my, my block.
(aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh.)
B
And when the sun goes down a stranger shouldn't walk
E
alone.
(Shang-A-lang-lang..shang-A-lang-lang.)

E B
After work one night beneath the lamppost light on my
block (my block.)
(Shang-A-lang-lang..shang-A-lang-lang.)
B
You suddenly appeared and I feared the little game I
E
played was through.
(Shang-A-lang-lang..shang-A-lang-lang.)
Am
But when you took my hand it was so grand walking down
E
my, my, my, my block.
(aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.)
B
Then right before my very eyes my block became a paradise
E
with you.
(Shang-A-lang-lang..shang-A-lang-lang.)
OUTRO:
Am E
Walk up to my house and step inside..it's my block (my block.)
Am E
No more, don't have nothing more to hide..it's my, my, my,
my block..
Am E
Angels started dancing in the street..on my block..(Fade.)
