Tabs
The Velvet Underground's best song sung by Nico, a simple song, but the whole production makes it one of the best songs recorded by the band. I painstakingly tabbed this out in an hour and a half, then typed it, and the accuracy is pretty good. Sorry for the long, extended, repetitive solo parts where it's easy to lose your place. And also for the lack of any indication of note length or timing. / = slide h = hammer on p = pull off ssss = pick note up and down for a length of time There are two guitars, but the second one is almost always playing one note over and over again in the background, so I'll only cite it in the beginning so you know what I'm talking about.

MAIN SONG guitar 2 not tabbed. I originally tabbed only the top two strings, but this made it even harder to read, so I switched it back. The main guitar comes in at the end of each verse. That's where the lyrics are taken from.
