Wild Child
    by Lou Reed
    From: 'Lou Reed' (1972)

    D MajorD               G+G
    I was talking to Chuck in his Genghis Khan suit
        D MajorD
    and his wizard's hat
                 G+G
    He spoke of his movie and how he was making
     D MajorD
    a new soundtrack

      C majorC        G+G      D MajorD
    And then we spoke of kids on the coast
      C majorC         G+G    D MajorD
    and different types of organic soap
      C majorC     G+G         D MajorD
    And the way suicides don't leave notes
             A augmentedA
    Then we spoke of Lorraine

    always back to Lorraine

    D MajorD               G+G
    I was speaking to Phil who was given to pills
         D MajorD
    and small racing cars
                   G+G
    He had given 'em up since his last crack-up
          D MajorD
    had carried him too far

    C majorC        G+G      D MajorD
    Then we spoke of movies and verse
      C majorC     G+G        D MajorD
    and the way an actress held her purse
      C majorC        G+G        D MajorD
    And the way life at times could get worse
             A augmentedA
    Then we spoke of Lorraine

    always back to Lorraine

      D MajorD      G+G
    Ah, she's a wild child
      D MajorD       G+G
    and nobody can get at her
    D MajorD      G+G
    She's a wild child
        D MajorD       G+G
    oh, and nobody can get to her

    B minorBm         G+G
    Sleeping out on the street
    D MajorD       G+G
    Oh, living all alone
    D MajorD          G+G
    without a house or a home
                Fm#
    and then she asked you, please
         A augmentedA
    hey baby, can I have some spare change
             D MajorD
    Oh, can I break your heart

           G+G   D MajorD
    She's a wild child
           G+G   D MajorD
    she's a wild child

    D MajorD           G+G
    I was talking to Betty about her auditions
         D MajorD
    how they made her ill
                  G+G
    The life of the theater is certainly fraught
         D MajorD
    with many spills and chills

    C majorC          G+G     D MajorD
    But she calmed down after some wine
    C majorC           G+G      D MajorD
    which is what happens most of the time
    C majorC        G+G       D MajorD
    Then we sat and both spoke in rhyme
             A augmentedA
    Till we spoke of Lorraine

    ah, it's always back to Lorraine

    D MajorD               G+G
    I was talking to Ed who'd been reported dead
      D MajorD
    by mutual friends
                G+G
    He thought it was funny that I had no money
    D MajorD
    to spend on him

    C majorC          G+G       D MajorD
    So we both shared a piece of sweet cheese
    C majorC        G+G       D MajorD
    and sang of our lives and our dreams
    C majorC            G+G      D MajorD
    And how things can come apart at the seams
             A augmentedA
    And we talked of Lorraine

    always back to Lorraine

    D MajorD      G+G
    She's a wild child
        D MajorD       G+G
    oh, and nobody can get at her
    D MajorD      G+G
    She's a wild child
        D MajorD       G+G
    oh, and nobody can get to her

    B minorBm         G+G
    Sleeping out on the street
    D MajorD       G+G
    Oh, living all alone
    D MajorD          G+G
    without a house or a home
                F# minorF#m
    and then she asked you, please
         A augmentedA
    oh baby, can I have some spare change
             D MajorD
    Now can I break your heart

           G+G   D MajorD
    She's a wild child
           G+G   D MajorD
    she's a wild child
