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. 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: Candy says, I've come to hate my body, and all that it requires in this world. Candy says, I'd like to know completely, what other souls discreetly talk about. CHORUS: I'm gonna watch the blue birds fly, over my shoulder. I'm gonna watch them pass me by, maybe when I'm older. What do you think I'd see, 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......... Doo.......Doo, Doo, Whaa......... (x4) (end on) 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...
