Chords with lyrics
This is Lou Reed's part of the song. I know most people really hate the Lulu album, but this is one of the songs that I've stumbled across that I think didn't sound that bad. Maybe it was the hypnotic riff or Lou's lyrics, but whatever it was, I like this song. I was also really surprised how easy Lou's part was. Just two chords. The same two chords throughout the entire song. The same two basic beginner chords throughout the entire song. Anyone can play this song regardless of your playing abilities. At first I didn't believe it until I watched Lou Reed and Metallica play this song live on a couple of YouTube videos and it just reinforced how simple Lou Reed is at playing guitar. If you somehow are having any problems with the strumming or the beat of the song, please listen to the song and try playing along. Also, when you've made your final judgment on the tab, please rate and comment. Please remember, THIS IS WHAT LOU'S PART OF THE SONG IS. SO DON"T BE SURPISSED IF I DIDN'T TAB WHAT METALLICA PLAY.

I tried to get the chord changes as best as I can to match with Lou's spoken singing style. As I've stated before, please rate and comment my tab when you have made your final judgement.
