Leonard Cohen - Boogie Street [Lyrics Effect] chords
Start Jamming...
Oh, crowd of [F#m] light
Oh, darkened [B] one
I [Bm] [F#m] [G]
never thought [C#] we'd meet
You kiss my [F#m]
lips
Oh, then [Bm] you're gone
[C]
[C#] I'm back on Boogie Street
[F#m] A
[F#]
[F#m] sip of wine, a cigarette
And [C#m] then it's time to go
[D] I tied it up, the kitchenette
I [Bm] took the old [C#] banjo
[D] I'm wanted at the traffic jam
[F#m] They're saving me a seat
[E] I'm what I am, and what I am
[D] Is back on Boogie [C#] Street
And oh, my [F#m]
love, I still recall
The [C#m]
pleasures that we knew
[D] The rivers and the waterfall
[F#m]
Wherein I bathed with [C#] you
[D]
Bewildered by your beauty there
[F#m] I kneeled to dry your feet
By [C#m]
such instructions you [E] prepared
[D] A man for Boogie [F#m] Street
Oh, crowd of light
[A] [F#m] Oh, darkened [D]
one
[Bm]
I [C#] never thought we'd meet
[C#m] You kiss my [F#m]
lips
And then it's [D]
[Bm] [D] done
[Bm] I'm back, [C#] back on Boogie [D] Street
[A] [F#m]
So come, my friend, be not afraid
[C#m]
We are so lightly here
[D] It is in love that we are made
[F#m] In love we [C#] disappear
[C#m] Though [Bm]
all the maps [D] of blood and flesh
[F#m] Are posted on the door
[E]
There's no one who has told us yet
[D]
What Boogie Street is [F#m]
for
Oh, crowd of light
Oh, darkened [D]
one
Oh, darkened one
[Bm]
I [C#m] never thought [C#] we'd meet
[C#m] You kiss my [F#m]
lips
And then it's [D]
[Bm] done
[B] And [D] [Bm] I'm [C#] back, back [C#m] on Boogie [D] Street
A [G#m] [F#m]
sip of wine, a cigarette
And [C#m]
then it's time to go
[D] I tied it up, the kitchenette
[F#m] I took the old [C#] banjo
I [Bm]
wanted it back, [D] the traffic jam
[F#m] They're saving me the seat
[C#m] Of what I am
[E] [D]
