"I'm Sticking With You"
The Velvet Underground
Music and lyrics by Lou Reed
PROGRESSION#1:
I'm sticking with you
'Cause I'm made out of glue
Anything that you might do
I'm gonna do too
You held up a stage coach in the rain
And I'm doin' the same
Saw you hangin' from a tree
And I made believe it was me
I'm sticking with you
'Cause I'm made out of glue
Anything that you might do
I'm gonna do too
BRIDGE:
Moon people go into the stratosphere
Soldiers fighting with their Cong
But with you by my side I can do anything
When we swing, we hang past right and wrong
PROGRESSION#2:
I'll do anything for you
Anything you want me to
I'll do anything for you
Oh whoa, I'm sticking with you [x8]
NOTES:
I came up with these chords while listening to the version of the song
on ''VU'', the 1985 compilation (recorded May 13, 1969 with Sterling
Morrison, Lou Reed, Maureen Tucker and Doug Yule). The first part and the
bridge are entirely piano and vocals while the last part adds drums and a
little guitar. It's a fairly straightforward song. There's a guitar part at
the end that goes like this:
Notation:
/ Slide
e-----------9-----------10-------12---------------|
b----10-------------------------------------------|
g-8/9----8/9-------10/11----12/13-----------------|
D-------------------------------------------------|
A-------------------------------------------------|
E-------------------------------------------------|
Repeat until end.
It's a fun song. Enjoy.
