Oh crown [Abm] of life
Oh dark and [Dbm] warm
I never thought [Eb] we'd meet
[Ebm] You kiss my [Abm]
lips, then it's [Dbm] done
And [Bb] [Eb]
I'm [Db] back [E] on Boogie [Ab] [Abm] Street
[Eb] John Robertson wrote this tune
[Db] [Abm] [Db] [Abm] [Gb] A [Abm] sip of wine, a cigarette
And [Ebm] then it's time to go
[Abm] I tidied up the kitchenette
[Dbm] I tuned the old [Eb] banjo
I'm [E] wanted at the traffic [Eb] jam
[Abm] They're saving me a seat
[Ebm] I'm what I am, and what I am
[E] Is back on Boogie [Eb] Street
And oh my [Abm] love, I still recall
[Db] The [Ebm] pleasures that we knew
The [E] rivers and the waterfall
[Dbm] Wherein I [Eb] bathed with you
[E] Bewildered by your beauty [Eb] there
[Abm] I kneeled to dry your feet
[B]
[Ebm] By such instructions you prepare [E] a man
For [Dbm] Boogie [Abm] [Db] Street
Oh
[Abm] [Db] [Abm]
crown of life
Oh dark [E] and [Dbm] [E] warm
Dark and [Dbm] warm
I never [Bb] thought [Eb] we'd [Ebm] meet
You kiss [Abm] my lips, and [B] then [E] it's [Dbm] done
Then [E] it's done
[Dbm] And I'm back, [Eb] back on [Abm] Boogie Street
[B] So [Dbm]
[Db] come [Abm] my friend, be not afraid
[Db]
[Ebm] We [Abm] are so lightly [Eb] here
[Ebm]
[E] It is in love that we are made
[Dbm] In [Eb] love we disappear
Though [Abm] all the maps of blood and [Eb] flesh
[Abm] Are posted on the door
[Ebm] There's no one who has [Gb] told us yet
[Abm] What Boogie [E] Street [Abm] is [Dbm] for
[Gb] [Ab] [Db] Oh crown [Abm] of life
Oh dark [E] and warm
[Dbm] [E] Dark and [Dbm] warm
I never thought [Eb] we'd meet
You [Abm] kiss my lips, and then [E] it's done
[Db] [Dbm] Then it's [E] done
[Dbm] And I'm back, [Eb] back on [Dbm] Boogie Street
[B] A [Db]
sip [Abm] of wine, a cigarette
[Ebm] And then [Eb] it's time to [Ebm] go
[E] I tidied up the kitchenette
[Dbm] I tuned the old [Eb] banjo
I'm [E] [Abm] wanted at the traffic [Eb]
[Abm] jam
They're saving [Ab] me the sea
[Gb]
[Ebm] I'm what I am, [Gb] and what I [Abm] am is back
[E] On [Abm] Boogie [Db] Street
Oh [Abm] yeah, [Bb] [Abm] oh [Db]
[Abm] yeah
[Gb] [Dbm] [Abm] Oh [Gb] yeah
