Good Evening Mr Waldheim chords by Lou Reed

Chords with lyrics

E MajorE
God evening Mr. Waldheim
D#mD#m
And Pontiff how are you?
C# minorC#m
You have so much in common
BB         F#F#
In the things you do

E MajorE
And here comes Jesse Jackson
D#mD#m
He talks of common ground
C# minorC#m
Does that common ground include me
BB        F#F#
Or is it just a sound?

        E MajorE
A augmentedA sound that shakes
  BB        F#F#          E MajorE  BB F#F# E MajorE
Oh Jesse, you must watch the sounds you make
       E MajorE
A augmentedA sound that quakes
BB          F#F#      E MajorE
There are fears that still reverberate

E MajorE
Jesse you say common ground
D#mD#m
Does that include the P.L.O?
C# minorC#m
What about people right here, right now
BB             F#F#
Who fought for you not so long ago?

E MajorE
The words that flow so freely
D#mD#m
Falling dancing from your lips
C# minorC#m
I hope that you don't cheapen them
BB       F#F#
With a racist slip

E MajorE
Oh common ground
  BB        F#F#       E MajorE    BB F#F# E MajorE
Is common ground a word or just a sound?
E MajorE
Oh, oh, common ground
BB              F#F#          E MajorE    BB F#F#
Remember those civil rights workers buried in the ground

E MajorE
If I ran for president
D#mD#m
And once was a member of the Klan
C# minorC#m
Wouldn't you call me on it
BB         F#F#
The way I call you on Farrakhan?

E MajorE
And Pontiff, pretty Pontiff
D#mD#m
Can anyone shake your hand ?
C# minorC#m
Or is it just that you like uniforms
BB         F#F#
And someone kissing your hand?

E MajorE
Or is it true
  BB         F#F#       E MajorE   BB F#F# E MajorE
The common ground for me includes you too?
       E MajorE
Oh, oh, is it true
   BB        F#F#       E MajorE   BB F#F# E MajorE
The common ground for me includes you too?

E MajorE
Good evening Mr. Waldheim
D#mD#m
Pontiff how are you?
C# minorC#m
As you both stroll through the woods at night
BB        F#F#
I'm thinking thoughts of you

E MajorE
And Jesse you're inside my thoughts
D#mD#m
As the rhythmic words subside
C# minorC#m
My common ground invites you in
BB          F#F#
Or do you prefer to wait outside?

E MajorE
Or is it true
  BB         F#F#      E MajorE   BB F#F# E MajorE
The common ground for me is without you?
     E MajorE
Or is it true
BB           F#F#      E MajorE   BB F#F# E MajorE
The common ground for me is without you?

     E MajorE
Oh is it true
      BB       F#F#        E MajorE  BB F#F# E MajorE
There's no ground common enough for me and you?
