the velvet underground - heroin (acoustic live)

COMFORT 4 THE LONELY MANN..THANX.

always amazed how well the strings carry their music, how raw and vital..

I wish that I was born a thousand years ago
I wish that I'd sail the darkened seas
On a great big clipper ship
Going from this land here to that
In a sailor's suit and cap
Away from the big city
Where a man can not be free
Of all of the evils of this town
And of himself, and those around
Oh, and I guess that I just don't know
Oh, and I guess that I just don't know

i like this version better than the album version lou reed is kicking ass and this is their best footage

yeyah one note solo... for the whole song
:D

i feel like jesuses son some of the best lyrics of all time

What chords is he playing?
I thought it was D and G but ... it's something else...

C and F... guess it's just a tone lower

This is the best version of the song
