VELVET UNDERGROUND - Accordi - Candy Says
--Key----Delay----Bpm: 72---Guitar--Piano-
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.
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:

Candy says, I've come to hate my body,

and all that it requires

in this world.

Candy says, I'd like to know completely,

what other souls discreetly

talk about.

CHORUS:

I'm gonna watch the blue birds fly,

over my shoulder.

I'm gonna watch them pass me by,

maybe when I'm older.

What do you think I'd see,

if I could walk away from me? (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.........

Doo.......Doo, Doo, Whaa......... (x4)

(end on)

Doo...

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...
