Tuning: E A D G B E
Song: Pale Blue Eyes
Artist: The Velvet Underground
Album: The Velvet Underground
Tuning: Standard EADGBE
This is my first tab but I tried to make it as detailed as possible. It is as close as I can make it to what
is played on the original recording but feel free to mess around with how it's played to get a different
sound. Listen to the recording to get the rhythm right. When played well this is the one of the most
devistating and melancholy songs ever. Play it on the bridge pickup with the tone around 1-4. Enjoy!
