Here's the version of Dark End of the Street that I've got - learned it from

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.
