Song: Not a Lot Goin' On (Corner Gas Opening Theme)
Band: Northey Valenzuela (Part Odds, Part Gin Blossoms)
Album:Northey Valenzuela
Tabbed/Chorded By: ultimatelefty
Alright so I know that this is coming about 11 years late, but I really figured this
would have made the internet by now! With the Corner Gas movie out now and all, I
rediscovered my love for this amazing show, and started fiddling around trying to
figure out the theme. I wonder how many people by now have already figured it out.
Anyways, this is the full song by Northey Valenzuela, so if you want to just play the
redone Corner Gas intro, its the same chords and whatnot, but the words are a bit
different. If you're a big enough fan of the show though you probably already know
the lyrics! Anyways, for whoever views this, I hope this helps, and hopefully you
have fun playing it! As always, please like, comment, and enjoy!!

Strikes twice, you better believe it

Under a sky that’s always wrapped around you

Good luck, you know you’re gonna need it

Then play F# B C# to "There's not a lot goin on, you think there's not a lot goin on!"
