Subject: CRD: The Kids : Lou Reed

It's looks much worse than it is, and when you really hit those chords

HARD, with single strokes, it's very powerful.

Have your kids join in at the appropriate point :-)

Aix Gvii D Ds4 D

G D G D G D G D G D G D A

They've taken her children away

Because they said she was not a good mother

They've taken her children away

Because of the things that they said she had done

The black air-force sergeant was not the first one and

All of the drugs she took

G D A A9 A

Every one, every one

They're taking her children away

Because they said she was not a good mother

They're taking her children away

Because number one was the girlfriend from Paris

The things that they did they didn't have to ask us

And then the Welshmen from India, we came here to stay

They're taking her children away

Because they said she was not a good mother

They're taking her children away

Because of the things she did in the streets

In the alleys and bars no she couldn't be beat

That miserable rotten slut couldn't turn anyone away

Aix Gvii D Ds4 D

Aix Gvii D Ds4 D

G D G D G D G D G D G D

Aix Gvii D Ds4 D

G D G D

Aix Gvii D Ds4 D

then suddenly, in ringing acoustic guita

Av Giii D A

[Chorus]

Aix Gvii D Ds4 D9 D G D G D G D A D

^^^^^^^^^^ quickly
