Velvet Underground - European Son guitar tab

**************************EUROPEAN SON*************************

Ah the joys of manic, a tonal, feedback ridden art rock, hey?

The bass riff to this should be coming soon (I hope)- meanwhile here

are the chords.

*CHORDS* (EADGBe)

C X32010

C# XX3121

D XX0232

During the first bit, just play around with a D chord.

In the second bit, one guitar should always play

C# (quick slide up) D x3

C

For a few times, another guitar should double it. The rest is up to

you. Just remember- Lots of feedback, noise, improvised solos.

*LYRICS*

(As i hear them!)

You killed your Eurpoean son

You spit on those under 21

But now you blue cars are gone

You'd better say so-long

Goodbye

You paint your wallpapers green

You want to make love to the scene

Your European son is gone

You'd better say so long you blue clouds

Choo choo goodbye

SOUND FX (running a chair across a floor and then smashing a plate on it)

MINDLESS NOISE

*END*

after the smashing of the plate comes the solo which is mainly improv.
