Vicious Tab

by Lou Reed




				"Vicious"
				(Lou Reed)

[Inspired by Andy Warhol, who told Lou Reed "I think you should write a
 song called 'Vicious'."]

Intro [main riff, 2X]:
	             *
	/ / / /  / / / /
			* bass plays A under second C chord throughout

Verse 1:

	         
	Vicious
	                          
	You hit me with a flower
	                      
	You do it every hour
	                              
	Ohh, baby you're so vicious

Verse 2:

	Vicious
	You want me to hit you with a stick
	But all I've got's a guitar pick
	                              
	                        / / / /  /
	Huh... baby you're so vicious

Bridge 1:

	
	When I watch you come
	                     
	                / / / /  /
	I just want to run   far away
	
	You're not the kind of person
	                             
	                       / / / /  /
	Around whom I want to stay

	                  
	When I see you comin' down the street
	                       
	I step on your hands and I mangle your feet
	                                      
	You're not the kind of person that I wanna meet
	                     
	Oh, baby, you're so vicious

	[Guitar solo over main riff]

	(You're just so vicious)

[repeat verse 1]

Verse 3:

	Vicious
	Hey, why don't you swallow razor blades
	You must think I'm some kinda gay blade
	                           
	                     / / / /  /
	But baby, you're so vicious

Chorus 2:

	When I watch you comin'
	I just have to run
	You're not good and you certainly aren't very much fun
	When I see you walkin' down the street
	I step on your hand and I mangle your feet
	You're not the kind of person that I even wanna meet
	'Cause you're so vicious

Coda [repeat main riff to fade]:

	Vicious
	Vicious...
