Tarbelly And Featherfoot chords by Lou Reed

• Difficulty: Beginner

E                         A
Tarbelly stood in the door, Eyes Bulging Out
E                 A
Body like a statue hands high on his hips
E                             A
And his mouth, while his mouth, drooling like a leaky spout
E                           D
Looking for something from another day
B                              B
a day when she can ask him and
B
he would want to….
E           A
play. Hey, hey, Born to…
E              A
play, hey-hey-hey

E                                        D
Suns up, down the stairs he came. she heard
                  A                    E
 him coming, she stood there just the same, hey-hey

 E                             D                      E
Featherfoot walked right past Tarbelly into the kitchen
E
Made and ate three sandwiches, drank a pot of
D                                    E
coffee and a bottle of Absolut Vodka.
E
Cut his toes and his hair and his clothes, made
D
three phone calls and answered six all on her charge card.
E                                          A
 All the while, Tarbelly stood in the door   his eyes are bulging out
E                                       A
Hands high on his hips, body like a statue,
A                               E
mouth drooling like a leaky spout
E
Eyes bulging out, body like a statue
A
drooling like a leaky spout
E                                    D
Now Featherfoot got to thinking he'd like to go out
    E                                 D
and Tarbelly stood in the way And he thought,
D
and he thought of the game he used to
E                          D
play. In His Youth, called swing the statue
     E
And He took Tarbelly by the wrists
       D
and he carried Her out into the yard
    B
And round and round and round he swung
    B
and round and round and round he swung
    B
And round and round he swung,
B                    E
and then he let her fly--
E               A
Fly-fly away up high. Over the hills and air
    E
she flew. And when she stopped, no one
   A
could say you can’t chase a shadow across the
E                                        A
day. You can’t chase a shadow across the
A
Day, you can’t chase a shadow across the
E
Day. you can’t Take a love without giving
   A                 E    E  E
It away, giving It away.
