Lou Reed

INTRO: D7

D7                                                      Em
We were drivin through West Texas
D                                       C
The land of beef and pork
D                                                       Em
Where they tend the hides of leather
D                                       C
We wear back in New York
D                                         Em
In a pasture, along a roadside
D                                       C
Behind a brokedown shack
D                                  Em
On a dusky side of evening
D                                                  C
We saw a figure dressed in black

G                                       C                                       G       Em
And we don't mean to sound like we're trippin
                A7
But we swear to God
        C               D               Em              D
We saw Lou Reed cow tippin
        G
Cow tippin

D                                 Em
Hey Lou, "Is that you?"
D                                                        C
She said as we pulled to the shoulder
D                               Em
He just said, "Go screw."
D                                                               C
And then he turned and tipped one over
D                                                 Em
Under a spitshine Western sky
D                                       C
The color of blue varnish
D                               Em
Hey it's like Fellini
D                                                                       C
Actually I'm thinkin more like Jim Jarmusch

G                                         C                               G             Em
And we can't say how much we've been sippin
                A7
But we swear to God
        C               D               Em              D
We saw Lou Reed cow tippin
        G

B7                              C
I got cops on the cell
B7                                                              C
I said I got a little story to tell
A7
Lou Reed is in the cow pen
                        D
They said, Oh no! Not again!

G                                       C                                       G       Em
And we hope our perceptions isn't slippin
                A7
But we swear to God
        C               D               Em              D
