[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...
