The Velvet Underground - Heroin

^DI do^Gn't know^D just^G where^D I'm going^{G D G} But ^DI'm gonna^G try for t^Dhe kingdom i^Gf I can ^D Cos it makes me ^Gfeel like I'm a ^Dman When I put a ^Gspike into my ^Dvein And I tell ya ^Gthings aren't quite the ^Dsame When I'm ^Grushing on my ^Drun And I ^Gfeel just like Jesus' ^Dson And I ^Gguess that I just don't ^Dknow And I ^Gguess that I just don't k^Dnow ^{G D G}

^DI have^G made a b^Dig d^Gecision ^{D G D D}I'm go^Gnna try t^Do nul^Glify my lif^De Cos when the ^Gblood begins to ^Dflow And it ^Gshoots up the dropper's ^Dneck When I'm ^Gclosing in on ^Ddeath

You can't ^Ghelp me not you ^Dguys Oh all you sweet g^Girls with all your sweet t^Dalk You can ^Gall go take a ^Dwalk And I ^Gguess that I just don't ^Dknow And I ^Gguess that I just don't ^Dknow ^{G D G}

^DI wis^Gh that ^DI was b^Gorn a tho^Dusand years ago ^{G D G D}I wis^Gh that ^DI'd sai^Gled the darkened seas^D On a ^Ggreat big clipper ^Dship Going from ^Gthis land here to ^Dthat Oh in a s^Gailor's suit and c^Dap

Away ^Gfrom the big ^Dcity Where a ^Gman can not be ^Dfree Of all the ^Gevils of this ^Dtown And of him^Gself and those a^Dround Oh and I g^Guess that I just don't k^Dnow Oh and I g^Guess that I just don't k^Dnow ^{G D G}

^DHer ^Goin ^Dit'l^Gl be the deat^Dh of me ^{G D G D}Her ^Goin ^Dit's^G my wife^D and it's my lif^Ge Because a ^Gmainline in my ^Dvein Leads to a ^Gcenter in my ^Dhead And then I'm ^Gbetter off as ^Ddead

Cos when the ^Gsmack begins to ^Dflow Oh I r^Geally don't care anym^Dore Bout all the j^Gim-jims in this t^Down And all the poli^Gticians making crazy ^Dsounds And everybody ^Gputtin' everybody else ^Ddown And all the dead ^Gbodies piled up in ^DNam

Cos when the ^Gsmack begins to ^Dflow And I ^Greally don't care any^Dmore

When that hero^Gin is in my ^Dblood And the ^Gblood is in my ^Dhead Then I thank ^GGod that I'm as good as ^Ddead And thank your ^GGod that I'm not a^Dware And thank ^GGod that I just don't ^Dcare And I ^Gguess that I just don't ^Dknow And I ^Gguess that I just don't ^Dknow ^{G D G}
