Candy Says chords by The Velvet Underground

Here is a more complete chord transcription for this song.  I've formatted
the chords to the lyrics (as well as I could), and included all the words.
Thanks to Citizen Kane  for the original posting
from which I took the chords.

This is one of the best VU songs (in my humble opinion).  It's the first
track on their third album, "The Velvet Underground"; and is written (of
course) by Lou Reed. A "closet mix" version is also available on the new VU
box set. Enjoy.

D

It is kind of difficult to convey where exactly the chords change, as they
don't line up perfectly with the words.  Every chord lasts for 4 beats and
the words are placed over them.  There is also a lot of chord picking that
goes on that I have no clue how to play.  And that's it...
