From: "Shaggy" <CSARVIS@Calumet.Yorku.Ca> Date: Sat, 2 Dec 1995 22:34:55 -500 Subject: CRD: Candy Says by The Velvet Underground Here is a more complete chord transcription for this song. I've formatted the chords to the lyrics (as well as I could), and included all the words. Thanks to Citizen Kane <ssandler@emerald.tufts.edu> for the original posting from which I took the chords. This is one of the best VU songs (in my humble opinion). 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. Candy Says: The Velvet Underground VERSE 1:
D Candy F#msays,F I've come to hatBe my body, Em and all that iAt requires Din this world. A D Candy F#msays,F I'd like to knoBw completely, Em what other soAuls discreetly Dtalk about. A
CHORUS:
D I'm gonna Gwatch the blue birds Efly, A over my shoulder. D I'm gonna Gwatch them pass me byE, Amaybe when I'm older. C What do you think I'd Gsee, if AI could walk away from Cme' (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.........
DDoo.......Doo, Doo, GWhaa......... (x4) (end on) DDoo...
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... SC Sarvis csarvis@calumet.yorku.ca ***************** * "Space Patrol, uh ... I gotta be brief ...
