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.
