 Subject:  CRD: Candy Says 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.
 
 Candy Says: The Velvet Underground
 
 VERSE 1:
 D       F#m  F                B 
   Candy says, I've come to hate my body,
 Em              A
   and all that it requires
   D              A
   in this world.
 D       F#m  F               B
   Candy says, I'd like to know completely,
 Em             A 
   what other souls discreetly
   D           A
   talk about. 
 
 CHORUS:
 D           G                    E 
   I'm gonna watch the blue birds fly,
 A           
   over my shoulder.
 D           G                    E
   I'm gonna watch them pass me by,
   A
   maybe when I'm older.
 C                       G
   What do you think I'd see,
      A                      C
   if I could walk away from me?    (4 beat pause)
 
 VERSE 2: (same chords as verse 1)
 Candy says, I hate the quite places,
 that cause the smallest taste
 of what will be.
 Candy says, I hate the big descisions,
 that cause endless revisions
 in my mind.
 
 CHORUS (again)
 
 EXTRO:
 D (8 bts)           G (8 bts)
 ..........Doo, Doo, Whaa......... 
 D                   G   
 Doo.......Doo, Doo, Whaa......... (x4)
 
 (end on)
 D
 Doo...
 
 
 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...
