Dark End of the Street G F#min Em9 At the dark end of the street G F#min Em9 That's where we'd always meet G C G Hiding in shadows where we don't belong C D G Living in darkness to hide our wrong C G C D G You and me, at the dark end of the street C G You and me G F#min Em9 I know that time's gonna take it's toll G F#min Em9 We've got to give back all the love that we stole G C G It's a sin and we know it's wrong C D G Oh but our love keeps coming on strong C G C D G Steal away, to the dark end of the street C G G They're going to find us F#min They're going to find us Em9 They're going to find us C G Oh someday C G C D G You and me, at the dark end of the street C G You and me Ab Gm9 Fm9 And when the daylight time comes around Ab Gm9 Fm9 And if by chance we walk downtown Ab C# Ab If you should see me just walk on by C# Eb Ab But darling, please don't cry C# Ab C# Eb Ab Tonight we'll meet, at the dark end of the street C# Ab I usually don't do the key change for the final verse, but it was there in the original so I thought I'd include it for the purists in the bunch. BTW, the lyrics may be a little screwy, my favourite version of this tune was recorded by Richard Thompson and my memory of the words may include some of his own idiosyncratic choices.
