Capo: 3 Tuning: E A D G B E
Nico, Lou Reed & John Cale - Little Sister (1967) Transcribed 27/12-2015 by Jon Malmin (jogusmal@hotmail.com) Tuning: Standard (Capo 3rd fret!) These chords are for guitar with a capo on the 3rd fret. The song is in the key of F major, so if you want to play it on piano for example, the chords would be F and Bb (instead of D and G, respectively). In the original version, Lou fingerpicks the chords in quite a varied way, so just experiment with the notes. If I were to strum the chords, this is the strumming pattern I would use (the time signature is 6/8. Dots denote sixteenth notes): 1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . 5 . 6 . D D U D U D D U D U [Intro] D G (x2) [Verse 1]
Don't call me Dhome, little Gsister Before the Dnight is Gdone My love and DI are Gfleeing DRunning into the Gsun
[Chorus]
Turn to Dfly, go aGway Little Dbird, please don't Gstay Fare thee Dwell G
[Verse 2]
Take up Dall your jewels and gGold Bury Dthem away in the Gearth Let your Dmemory reGduce them to dust But Ddon't forget the kniGfe that was thrust
[Chorus]
Turn to Dfly, go aGway Little Dbird, please don't Gstay Fare thee Dwell G
[Interlude] D G (x4) [Verse 3]
Frozen Dkiss by the Gfountain DRunning into the Gsea Where shadows Dchoose their Ghorrors DesDigned for mGusic
[Chorus]
Turn to Dfly, go aGway Little Dbird, please don't Gstay Fare thee Dwell G
[Outro] D G The song then ends on a D chord.
