Here's a song I wrote in 1967 with Chip's mama.
[G]
At the dark [F#m] end of [Em] the street, [G] that's where [F#m] we [Em] always meet.
Hiding [G] in sheds [C] where we [Em] don't [G] belong, living [C] in darkness, [D] hide [G] out wrong.
[C]
[G] You and me
[C] at the dark end [D] [G] of the street,
[C] you [G] and me,
[D] [C] I [G] know time's gonna [F#m] take its [Em] toll.
[G] We have to pay [F#m] for the love [Em] we stole.
[Bm] [G] It's a sin [C] and we know [G] it's wrong.
Oh, [C] but our love [D] keeps coming [G] on strong.
[C] [G] Steal away to [C] the dark end [D] [G] of the street.
[C] [G]
[Em] [D] [G] They're gonna find us, [D] they're gonna find us, [Em] they're gonna find us, oh [B] [G]
someday.
[C] You [G]
and me, [Am] [G] baby, [C] at the dark end [D]
[G] of the street.
[C] I'm gonna [G] play it one time, Spoon.
