Here's the version of Dark End of the Street that I've got - learned it from
a Percy Sledge recording though, not the Commitments soundtrack.
Dark End of the Street
G F#min Emin
At the dark end of the street
G F#min Emin
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 Emin
I know that time's gonna take it's toll
G F#min Emin
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
Emin
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
G# Gmin Fmin
And when the daylight time comes around
G# Gmin Fmin
And if by chance we walk downtown
G# C# G#
If you should see me just walk on by
C# D# G#
But darling, please don't cry
C# G# C# D# G#
Tonight we'll meet, at the dark end of the street
C# G#
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.
