  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.
