I was about to reply to a thread, but while I was thinking about it, it was bumped off the bottom of the page. I tried top get it back using the search, but was unsuccessful. I think these are the chords I use to Coney Island Washboard. (I'm at the library abnd don't have a guitar, so my air guitar will have to do. I'm sure the librarian wonders what I'm doing.)

Coney Island Washboard- Lyrics
       C                               A
On her Coney Island washboard she would play,

          D7
you could hear her on the boardwalk every day

G                   C             A
soapsuds all around, bubbles on the ground

D7                               G7
Rub a dub a dub in her little tub any tune she found

C                               A
thimbles on her fingers made the noise

          F                               D7
she played Charleston on the laundry for the boys

          F                Fm (or F#dim)
she could rag a tune right through the knees

      C                A
of a brand new pair of BVDs

D7          G             C
Coney Island Washboard Rondelay.
*****************************************************************
Here in Southern Ontario we have a performer called Washboard Hank who plays a wonderful "Stradavarious" washboard with many attatchments. (Google "Washboard Hank" images) Soon after being invited to his 50th birthday party, I found myself singing these words to this old jug band song:

On his Stradavarious washboard he would play,
He'd front the Gravestone Lickers each Thursday.
With bells and horns and gongs
He'd play that Dughnut song
All the drunks who know how the lyrics go
Always sing along.
Thimbles on a golf glove make the noise
On a washboard covered with his favourite toys.
He can knock a hole in your mandolin
If you stand a bit too close to him
Washboard Hank up Peterborough way.

last 6 lines:
Sometimes he'll play the tenor banjo too.
His guitar's patched up with duct tape 'stead of glue.
He's a dangerous man
If you need proof
Take a look at the hole in the Ganny roof
Washboard hanh up Peterborough way.

Expanation: The Gravestone lickers are one of Hank's bands.
The Doughnut Shops Of Ontario is one of his most requested tunes.
Hank finishes many solos with a Pete Townsend style swing which has been known to bloody the nose of his mandolin player, Clayton Yates.
The Ganny is a hotel with a low roof over the stage.
