[Intro]
F#m Bm7
(O Crown of Light, O Darkened One)
C#7
(I never thought we'd meet)
F#m Bm7
(You kiss my lips, and then you're gone)
C#7 F#m
(And I'm back on Boogie Street)
[Verse 1]
F#m
A sip of wine, a cigarette
C#m7
And then it's time to go
D6
I tidied up the kitchenette
Bm C#7
I tuned the old banjo
Dmaj7
I'm wanted at the traffic-jam
F#m
They're saving me a seat
E6
I'm what I am, and what I am
Dmaj7 C#7
Is back on Boogie Street
[Verse 2]
F#m
And oh my love, I still recall
C#m7
The pleasures that we knew
D6
The rivers and the waterfall
Bm C#7
Wherein I bathed with you
Dmaj7
Bewildered by your beauty there
F#m
I'd kneel to dry your feet
E6
By such instructions you prepare
Dmaj7 F#m
A man for Boogie Street
[Chorus]
F#m A6
(O Crown of Light, Crown of Light)
D6 Bm
(O Darkened One, Darkened One, Darkened One)
C#7
(I never thought we'd meet, never thought we'd meet)
F#m A6
(You kiss my lips, kiss my lips)
D6
(And then it's done, then it's done, then it's done)
Bm6 C#7 D E F#m
(And I'm back, back on Boogie Street)
[Verse 3]
F#m
So come, my friends, be not afraid
C#m7
We are so lightly here
D6
It is in love that we are made
Bm C#7
In love we disappear
Dmaj7
Though all the maps of blood and flesh
F#m
Are posted on the door
E6
There's no one who has told us yet
Dmaj7 F#m
What Boogie Street is for
[Chorus]
F#m A6
(O Crown of Light, Crown of Light)
D6 Bm
(O Darkened One, Darkened One, Darkened One)
C#7
(I never thought we'd meet, never thought we'd meet)
F#m A6
(You kiss my lips, kiss my lips)
D6
(And then it's done, then it's done, then it's done)
Bm6 C#7 D E F#m
(And I'm back, back on Boogie Street)
[Outro]
F#m
A sip of wine, a cigarette
C#m7
And then it's time to go
D6
I tidied up the kitchenette
Bm C#7
I tuned the old banjo
(Fadeout)
Dmaj7
I'm wanted at the traffic-jam
F#m
They're saving me a seat
E6
I'm what I am, and what I am
Dmaj7 C#7
Is back on Boogie Street...
