White Light / White Heat 

The Velvet Underground was a pioneering experimental rock band from New York City first active from 1965 to 1973. Its best-known lineup consisted of vocalist/guitarist Lou Reed, bassist/violist John Cale, guitarist Sterling Morrison and drummer Maureen Tucker. The band also collaborated with Nico for their debut album in 1967, under the supervision of producer and pop artist Andy Warhol.  Some see The Velvet Underground as being a bridge between the pacifist themes of the late 60s and the sheer chaos and indifference of the mid-70s punk movement.

I find it hard to believe you don't know
The beauty you are
But if you don't let me be your eyes
A hand in your darkness, so you won't be afraid

That inside you're twisted and unkind
Let me stand to show that you are blind
Please put down your hands
'Cause I see you

And cry behind the door

Beginning To See The Light

VERSE 1:
D       F#m  F                B 
  Candy says, I've come to hate my body,
Em              A
  and all that it requires
  D              A
  in this world.
D       F#m  F               B
  Candy says, I'd like to know completely,
Em             A 
  what other souls discreetly
  D           A
  talk about. 

CHORUS:
D           G                    E 
  I'm gonna watch the blue birds fly,
A           
  over my shoulder.
D           G                    E
  I'm gonna watch them pass me by,
  A
  maybe when I'm older.
C                       G
  What do you think I'd see,
     A                      C
  if I could walk away from me?    (4 beat pause)

VERSE 2: (same chords as verse 1)

of what will be.

that cause endless revisions
in my mind.

You better watch your step
C          F                   Dm            G
She's gonna break your heart in two, yes it's true

It's not hard to realize
C                               F
Just look into her false colored eyes
C               F                  Dm           G
She'll bring you up just to put you down, what a clown
 

              C                                       F
Cos everybody knows                  (she's a femme fatale)
                       C                              F
The things she does to please        (she's a femme fatale)
                    C                                 F
She's just a little tease            (she's a femme fatale)
                     Dm                         Bb             G
Just see the way she walks and hear the way she talks

   I  don't know  just where I'm going
    D        G         D           G            D

                G               D                    
Cos it makes me feel like I'm a man
             G             D
When I put a spike into my vein
              G                       D
And I tell ya things aren't quite the same          
         G             D                            
When I'm rushing on my run

D     G        D   G         D         G     D
I         have made a  big decision
D     G        D    G          D
I'm      gonna try     to nullify my life
             G               D
Cos when the blood begins to flow
       G                       D
And it shoots up the dropper's neck
         G             D
When I'm closing in on death
 
 

 
          G               D
You can't help me not you guys
                  G                         D
Oh, all you sweet girls with all your sweet talk

D    G      D      G        D               G        D      G
I       wish that    I was born a thousand years ago
D    G      D      G                    D
I       wish that    I'd sailed the darkened seas
     G                 D
On a great big clipper ship
           G                 D
Going from this land here to that
         G                 D
Oh, in a sailor's suit and cap
 

 
     G            D
Away from the big city
        G              D
Where a man can not be free
           G             D
Of all the evils of this town
          G               D
And of himself and those around
          G                       D
Oh, and I guess that I just don't know
          G                       D      G     D      G
Oh, and I guess that I just don't know
 
 
D   G   D   G            D           G       D      G
Her_____oin,   it'll be the death of me
D   G   D   G       D               G
Her_____oin,   it's my wife, and it's my life
          G              D
Because a mainline in my vein
           G            D
Leads to a center in my head
             G             D
And then I'm better off as dead
 
 

 
             G               D
Cos when the smack begins to flow
      G                    D
Oh, I really don't care anymore
              G                D
'Bout all the jim-jims in this town
                G                    D
And all the politicians making crazy sounds
              G                      D
And everybody puttin' everybody else down
                 G                  D
And all the dead bodies piled up in Nam
 

             G               D
Cos when the smack begins to flow
      G                    D
And I really don't care anymore
 

              G           D
When that heroin is in my blood
        G              D
And the blood is in my head
             G                       D
Then I thank God that I'm as good as dead
               G                 D
And thank your God that I'm not aware
          G                     D
And thank God that I just don't care
      G                       D
And I guess that I just don't know
      G                       D      G       D        G
And I guess that I just don't know

It lies, but can't stand up.

The fact that you are married,
 Bb           C             F
Only proves, you're my best friend.
 Bb             C       F

This is classic Lou Reed. &quot;Pale Blue Eyes&quot; is a song written by Lou Reed and performed by The Velvet Underground. It was included on the band's eponymous 1969 album &quot;The Velvet Underground&quot;. The song, as with a number of Reed's other songs, was inspired by his college sweetheart and muse, Shelly Albin, who indeed had pale blue eyes.

          C	                   Am		
When my head is strong but my heart is weak
              F	 	          G		
I'm full of arrogance and uncertainty
     Am      F				                          C
When I can't find the words you teach my heart to speak
Am	         G	       F   C
You make it real for me yeah

Chorus:
    G	    Am	   F	             C

Bridge:
G                           F                 C
    Everybody’s talking in words I don't understand
G                                    F              C
    You got to be the only one who knows just who I am
Em                                    F	
    You’re shining in the distance I hope I can make it through
           D	                              G                                    
Cause the only place that I want to be is right back home with you 


Verse 3:
                 C	             Am		
I guess there's so much more I have to learn
               F	 	                       G		
But if you're here with me, I know which way to turn
        Am         F		                   C
You always give me somewhere, somewhere I can run
Am	            G	       F   C
   You make it real for me 

Chorus:
    G	    Am	   F	             C

You Make It Real

G         Em		  
1) Almost heaven,   West Virginia,
2) All my mem'ries, gather round her, 

   D			 C                G
1) Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah       River.
2) miner's lady,         stranger to blue water.

                      Em  
1) Life is old there, older than the trees, 
2) Dark and dusty,    painted on the sky, 

   D
1) younger than the mountains
2) misty taste of moonshine

   C			G
1) growin' like a breeze.
2) teardrop in my eye.

              G              D            Em        C
       Country roads, take me home, to the place I belong.
	      G               D              C            G
     West Virginia, Mountain momma, take me home Country roads


           Em       D            G 
 	I hear her voice in the morning hour she calls me,
            C        G              D 
        the radio reminds her of my home far away
            Em               D            C
        and driving down the road I get a feeling 
 	       G                     D          D7    G
        that I should have been home yesterday, yesterday.

School Friends

Am      C              F              C
I had a dream, we were sipping whisky neat
        F              C                 G
Highest floor, the Bowery, and nowhere’s high enough
    Am              C                F             C
Somewhere along the lines, we stopped seeing eye to eye
         F               C           G
You were staying out all night and I had enough


      F           Am             F                    C       
No, I don't wanna know where you been or where you're goin’
      F               Am                 G
But I know I won't be home and you'll be on your own


            F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning?
            F                 C                 G
Who's gonna rock you when the sun won't let you sleep?
             F                C               G         E7   Am
Who's waking up to drive you home when you're drunk and all alone?
             F                    C                G

       I had a dream, we were back to seventeen
       F                   C            G
Summer nights and the Libertines, never growing up
Am             C          F                 C
I'll take with me the polaroids and the memories

It Ain't Me

Verse 1:
G                                    Em        G        Em
There was a girl who lived in London town.
G                                 Em                   G      Em
The scenes and sounds, they would only bring her down
C                                   D
She had polkadots and rubies in her dreams,
C                   D
French fantasies on cinema screens...
        C             G/B    Am     G
And she knew from the finish to the start
C      G/B      Am   G
It was bound to fall apart
C         G/B     Am   Em
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.
Em                                D
Wouldn't it be sweet if she could die from a broken heart?

G     Em      G      Em

Verse 2: (the same chords)
There was a boy who lived inside his head.
He couldn't face the world, so he turned his back instead.
He couldn't see in front of his eyes;
His fantasies of outlaws had him hypnotised...

And he knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                        F
Wouldn't it be sweet if he could die from a broken heart?

   C              G           F
Behold his golden wings
       C              G         F
And behold his bronze bow.
                 C             G         F
Can you hear his silver arrows sing?
       C               G     
As his gaylied favours glow.

(then go back to the normal verse bit)

There was a boy and girl who fell in love:
They both were in love with the stars and sky above,
Cinderella, cigarettes and scenes from the past
Were chasing them too fast for this love to ever last...

And they knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                         F
Wouldn't it be sweet if they could die from a broken heart? 

C   G    F    C    G

Repeat F  C  G until the end. End on G.
