"Cool It Down"--by the Velvet Underground

This is a poppin' track off of VU's last(and final?)studio 
album "Loaded".  A somewhat simplified version, but play 
the D and G of the verse with a bluesy-type groove and mute 
the high E string in the D chord so that you can use that 
finger to give a pull on the D string which will simulate 
the second guitar surprisingly well.  The same is true of 
the G chord, but bend the G string with your third finger.  
Have fun--it's an incredible song and amazingly easy to 
play.
