Venus In Furs chords by The Velvet Underground
Guitar chords with lyrics
"Venus In Furs"
(Lou Reed)
The Velvet Underground
The Velvet Underground & Nico, 1967
For my arrangement, tune the B (2nd) string down to an A (EADGAE), and then
capo at the 4th fret, so you get that "drone" sound out of the guitar.
Chords are implicit.
Riff 1:
