Sunday morning, praise the dawning It's just a restless feeling by my side Early dawning, Sunday morning It's just the wasted years so close behind Watch out, the world's behind you There's always someone around you who will call It's nothing at all Sunday morning and I'm falling I've got a feeling I don't want to know Early dawning, Sunday morning It's all the streets you crossed, not so long ago Watch out, the world's behind you There's always someone around you who will call It's nothing at all Watch out, the world's behind you There's always someone around you who will call It's nothing at all Sunday morning Sunday morning Sunday morning

I'm Waiting For The Man

I'm waiting for my man Twenty-six dollars in my hand Up to Lexington, 125 Feel sick and dirty, more dead than alive I'm waiting for my man Hey, white boy, what you doin' uptown? Hey, white boy, you chasin' our women around? Oh pardon me sir, it's the furthest from my mind I'm just lookin' for a dear, dear friend of mine I'm waiting for my man Here he comes, he's all dressed in black Beat up shoes and a big straw hat He's never early, he's always late First thing you learn is you always gotta wait I'm waiting for my man Up to a Brownstone, up three flights of stairs Everybody's pinned you, but nobody cares He's got the works, gives you sweet taste Ah then you gotta split because you got no time to waste I'm waiting for my man Baby don't you holler, darlin' don't you bawl and shout I'm feeling good, you know I'm gonna work it on out I'm feeling good, I'm feeling oh so fine Until tomorrow, but that's just some other time I'm waiting for my man

Femme Fatale

Here she comes, you better watch your step She's going to break your heart in two, it's true It's not hard to realize Just look into her false colored eyes She builds you up to just put you down, what a clown 'Cause everybody knows (She's a femme fatale) The things she does to please (She's a femme fatale) She's just a little tease (She's a femme fatale) See the way she walks Hear the way she talks You're put down in her book You're number 37, have a look She's going to smile to make you frown, what a clown Little boy, she's from the street Before you start, you're already beat She's gonna play you for a fool, yes it's true 'Cause everybody knows (She's a femme fatale) The things she does to please (She's a femme fatale) She's just a little tease (She's a femme fatale) See the way she walks Hear the way she talks

Venus In Furs

Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather Whiplash girlchild in the dark Comes in bells, your servant, don't forsake him Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart Downy sins of streetlight fancies Chase the costumes she shall wear Ermine furs adorn the imperious Severin, Severin awaits you there I am tired, I am weary I could sleep for a thousand years A thousand dreams that would awake me Different colors made of tears Kiss the boot of shiny, shiny leather Shiny leather in the dark Tongue of thongs, the belt that does await you Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart Severin, Severin, speak so slightly Severin, down on your bended knee Taste the whip, in love not given lightly Taste the whip, now plead for me I am tired, I am weary I could sleep for a thousand years A thousand dreams that would awake me Different colors made of tears Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather Whiplash girlchild in the dark Severin, your servant comes in bells, please don't forsake him Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart

Run Run Run

Teenage Mary said to Uncle Dave I sold my soul, must be saved Gonna take a walk down to Union Square You never know who you're gonna find there You gotta run, run, run, run, run Take a drag or two Run, run, run, run, run Gypsy Death and you Tell you whatcha do
Marguerita Passion had to get her fix She wasn't well, she was getting sick Went to sell her soul, she wasn't high Didn't know, thinks she could buy it And she would run, run, run, run, run Take a drag or two Run, run, run, run, run Gypsy Death and you Tell you whatcha do
Seasick Sarah had a golden nose Hobnail boots wrapped around her toes When she turned blue, all the angels screamed They didn't know, they couldn't make the scene She had to run, run, run, run, run Take a drag or two Run, run, run, run, run Gypsy Death and you Tell you whatcha do
Beardless Harry, what a waste Couldn't even get a small-town taste Rode the trolleys down to forty-seven Figured he was good to get himself to heaven 'Cause he had to run, run, run, run, run Take a drag or two Run, run, run, run, run Gypsy Death and you Tell you whatcha do

All Tomorrow's Parties

And what costume shall the poor girl wear To all tomorrow's parties A hand-me-down dress from who knows where To all tomorrow's parties And where will she go and what shall she do When midnight comes around She'll turn once more to Sunday's clown And cry behind the door And what costume shall the poor girl wear To all tomorrow's parties Why silks and linens of yesterday's gowns To all tomorrow's parties And what will she do with Thursday's rags When Monday comes around She'll turn once more to Sunday's clown And cry behind the door And what costume shall the poor girl wear To all tomorrow's parties For Thursday's child is Sunday's clown For whom none will go mourning A blackened shroud, a hand-me-down gown Of rags and silks, a costume Fit for one who sits and cries For all tomorrow's parties

Heroin

I don't know just where I'm going But I'm gonna try for the kingdom, if I can 'Cause it makes me feel like I'm a man When I put a spike into my vein And I'll tell ya, things aren't quite the same When I'm rushing on my run And I feel just like Jesus' son And I guess that I just don't know And I guess that I just don't know
I have made the big decision I'm gonna try to nullify my life 'Cause when the blood begins to flow When it shoots up the dropper's neck When I'm closing in on death And you can't help me now, you guys And all you sweet girls with all your sweet talk You can all go take a walk And I guess that I just don't know And I guess that I just don't know
I wish that I was born a thousand years ago I wish that I'd sail the darkened seas On a great big clipper ship Going from this land here to that In a sailor's suit and cap Away from the big city Where a man can not be free Of all of the evils of this town And of himself, and those around Oh, and I guess that I just don't know Oh, and I guess that I just don't know
Heroin, be the death of me Heroin, it's my wife and it's my life Because a mainer to my vein Leads to a center in my head And then I'm better off and dead Because when the smack begins to flow I really don't care anymore About all the Jim-Jim's in this town And all the politicians makin' crazy sounds And everybody puttin' everybody else down And all the dead bodies piled up in mounds
'Cause when the smack begins to flow Then I really don't care anymore Ah, when the heroin is in my blood And that blood is in my head Then thank God that I'm as good as dead Then thank your God that I'm not aware And thank God that I just don't care And I guess I just don't know And I guess I just don't know

There She Goes Again

There she goes again She's out on the streets again She's down on her knees, my friend But you know she'll never ask you please again Now take a look, there's no tears in her eyes She won't take it from just any guy, what can you do You see her walkin' on down the street Look at all your friends she's gonna meet You better hit her There she goes again She's knocked out on her feet again She's down on her knees, my friend But you know she'll never ask you please again Now take a look, there's no tears in her eyes Like a bird, you know she would fly, what can you do You see her walkin' on down the street Look at all your friends that she's gonna meet You better hit her Now take a look, there's no tears in her eyes Like a bird, you know she will fly, fly, fly away See her walking on down the street Look at all your friends that she's gonna meet She's gonna bawl and shout She's gonna work it She's gonna work it out, bye bye Bye bye baby

All right

I'll be your mirror I'll be your mirror Reflect what you are, in case you don't know I'll be the wind, the rain and the sunset The light on your door to show that you're home When you think the night has seen your mind 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 I find it hard to believe you don't know The beauty that you are But if you don't let me be your eyes A hand in your darkness, so you won't be afraid When you think the night has seen your mind 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 I'll be your mirror

The Black Angel's Death Song

The myriad choices of his fate Set themselves out upon a plate For him to choose What had he to lose Not a ghost bloodied country All covered with sleep Where the black angel did weep Not an old city street in the east Gone to choose And wandering's brother Walked on through the night With his hair in his face On a long splintered cut from the knife of G.T. The rally man's patter ran on through the dawn Until we said so long To his skull-shrill yell Shining brightly red-rimmed and Red-lined with the time Infused with the choice of the mind On ice skates scraping chunks

The Velvet Underground

Candy Says

This is one of the best VU songs. It's the first track on their third album, "The Velvet Underground"; and is written (of course) by Lou Reed. A "closet mix" version is also available on the new VU box set. Enjoy.
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) Candy says, I hate the quite places, that cause the smallest taste of what will be. Candy says, I hate the big descisions, that cause endless revisions in my mind.
CHORUS (again)
EXTRO: D (8 bts) G (8 bts) ..........Doo, Doo, Whaa......... D G Doo.......Doo, Doo, Whaa......... (x4)
(end on) D Doo...
It is kind of difficult to convey where exactly the chords change, as they don't line up perfectly with the words. Every chord lasts for 4 beats and the words are placed over them. There is also a lot of chord picking that goes on that I have no clue how to play. And that's it...

What Goes On

D C D C
D C D C What goes on in your mind?
F G D C I think that I am falling down
D C D C What goes on in your mind?
F G D I think that I am upside down
A G Lady, be good, do what you should
D C D C you know it will work alright
A G Lady, be good, do what you should
D C D C you know it will be alright
I'm going up, and I'm going down I'm gonna fly from side to side See the bells up in the sky Somebody's cut their string in two Lady, be good, do what you should you know it will work alright Lady, be good, do what you should you know it will be alright
SOLO
One minute born, one minute doomed One minute up, and one minute down What goes on in your mind? I think that I am falling down Lady, be good, do what you should you know it will work alright Lady, be good, do what you should you know it will be alright

Pale Blue Eyes

F
Sometimes I feel so happy
Bb
Sometimes I feel so sad
F Dm
Sometimes I feel just about everything
Bb C F
Lately I'm just feeling bad
Bb C F
Lately I'm just feeling bad

C F C F
Linger on your pale blue eyes

I thought of you as my mountain top
I thought of you as my peak
I thought of you as just about everything
I had but couldn't keep
I had but couldn't keep
If I could make the world as pure And strange as what I see I'd put you in the mirror I put in front of me I put in front of me
(Line three may be wrong!) Skip the life completely Stuff it in a cup She said my knee is like us in time It lies but can't stand up Down for you is up
It was good what we did yesterday And I'd do it once again The fact that you are married Only proves you're my best friend But it's truly truly a sin

Sometimes I feel so happy
sometimes I feel so sad
Sometimes I feel so happy
but mostly you just make me mad
Baby, you just make me mad

Linger on your pale blue eyes
Linger on your pale blue eyes

Thought of you as my mountain top
thought of you as my peak
Thought of you as everything
I've had, but couldn't keep
I've had, but couldn't keep

Linger on your pale blue eyes
Linger on your pale blue eyes

If I could make the world as pure
and strange as what I see
I'd put you in a mirror
I'd put in front of me
I'd put in front of me

Linger on your pale blue eyes
Linger on your pale blue eyes

Skip a life completely
stuff it in a cup
She said: Money is like us in time
it lies, but can't stand up
Down for you is up

Linger on your pale blue eyes
Linger on your pale blue eyes

It was good, what we did yesterday
and I'd do it once again
The fact that you are married
only proves your my best friend
But it's truely, truely a sin

Linger on your pale blue eyes
Linger on your pale blue eyes

Beginning to See the Light

From: Harlan L Thompson, harlant@hawaii.edu

G C F D Well, I'm beginning to see the light
G C F D Well, I'm beginning to see the light
G C F D Some people work very hard but still they never get it right
G C F D Well, I'm beginning to see the light I wanna tell all you people, now Now, now, baby, I'm beginning to see the light Hey, now, baby, I'm beginning to see the light Wine in the mornin', and some breakfast at night Well, I'm beginning to see the light

F C Bb F C F Here we go again, playing the fool again
F C Bb F C F G Here we go again, acting hard again All right!
Well, I'm beginning to see the light! I wanna tell you, ooh-oh-oh! Hey, now, baby, I'm beginning to see the light! Here it comes a bit softer now I wore my teeth in my hands so I could kiss the hair of the night Well, I'm beginning to see the light! Now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, baby, I'm beginning to see the light, now! It comes softer! Hey, now, baby, I'm beginning to see the light I met myself in a dream, and I just want to tell you Everything was alright Hey, now, baby, I'm beginning to see the light

F C F F C F Here comes two of you Which one will you choose?
F C F One is black and one is blue
F C F Don't know just what to do Alright!
Well, I'm beginning to see the light, oh, now, here she comes! Hey, yeah, baby, I'm beginning to see the light Oh-ahhhh! Some people work very hard but still they never get it right Well, I'm begiing to see the light Ah, it's getting a little softer, maybe, in there Now, now, baby, I'm beginning to see the light Ah, it's coming around again, hey, now, now, now, baby I'm beginning to see the light One more time There are problems in these times But, woo!, none of them are mine! Oh, baby, I'm beginning to see the light

F C Bb F C F Here we go again, I thought that you were my friend
F C Bb F C F Here we go again, I thought that you were my friend

Bb C F How does it feel, to be loved? How does it feel, to be loved? How does it feel, to be loved? How does it feel, to be loved? How does it feel, to be loved?
NOTE: Obviously it's impossible to write lyrics to this song since so much of it is ad lib. I got this version from the lyrics archive. They're about as good as they can get, but use them with a grain of salt!

I'm Set Free

C
I've been set free and F Dm
I've been bound C
To the memories of F Dm
Yesterday's clouds C
I've been set free and F Dm
I've been bound

And now C F
I'm set free C F
I'm set free
C F Dm G
I'm set free to find a new illusion
I've been blinded but Now I can see What in the world has Happend to me The prince of stories who Walks right by me And now I'm set free I'm set free I'm set free to find a new illusion
I've been set free and I've been bound Let me tell you people What I found I saw my head laughing Rolling on the ground And now I'm set free I'm set free I'm set free to find a new illusion

Instead of C,F,Dm,G you can use for example D,G,Em,A; E,A,F#,B; G,C,Am,D; A,D,Bm,E

That's the Story of My Life

Bb Eb F That's the story of my life C F G That's the difference between wrong and right F G Am G But Billy said both those words are dead Dm G That's the story of my life
Repeat twice
Instrumental break:
C-F-G C-F-G F-G-Am Dm-G
Repeat verse again, end on G.
These are the chords in standard tuning. You may find it easier to use a capo and transpose to chords that are somewhat easier to play. Capo on third fret would make the progression:
G-C-D A-D-E D-E-F#m-D Bm-E

After Hours

This is a great VU song, sung by Mo Tucker and covered I understand by
REM. Play this on an acoustic and drop the tuning a half-step.

Sweet Jane

D A G Bm A D A G Bm A Standing on the corner, suitcase in my hand Jack is in his coat, and Jane is her vest, and me I'm in a rock'n'roll band Hah! Ridin' in a Stutz-Bearcat, Jim Y'know, those were different times! Oh, all the poets they studied rules of verse And the ladies, they rolled their eyes Sweet Jane! Whoa! Sweet Jane, oh-oh-a! Sweet Jane!
I'll tell you something Jack, he is a banker And Jane, she is a clerk Both of them save their monies, ha And when, when they come home from work Sittin' down by the fire, oh! The radio does play The classical music there, Jim "The March of the Wooden Soldiers" All you protest kids You can hear Jack say, get ready, ah Sweet Jane! Come on baby! Sweet Jane! Oh-oh-a! Sweet Jane!
Some people, they like to go out dancing And other peoples, they have to work, Just watch me now! And there's even some evil mothers Well they're gonna tell you that everything is just dirt Y'know that, women, never really faint And that villains always blink their eyes, woo! And that, y'know, children are the only ones who blush! And that, life is just to die! And, everyone who ever had a heart They wouldn't turn around and break it And anyone who ever played a part Oh wouldn't turn around and hate it!
Sweet Jane! Whoa-oh-oh! Sweet Jane! Sweet Jane!
