Subject: CRD: Candy Says by The Velvet Underground

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.
Thanks to Citizen Kane <ssandler@emerald.tufts.edu> for the original posting
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.

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...
