Lou Reed – Tarbelly And Featherfoot (Guitar)

E                         A
Tarbelly stood in the door, Eyes Bulging Out

E                 A
Body like a statue hands high on his hips

E                             A
And his mouth, while his mouth, drooling like a leaky spout

E                           D
Looking for something from another day

B                              B
a day when she can ask him and

B
he would want to….

E           A
play. Hey, hey, Born to…

E              A
play, hey-hey-hey

E                                        D
Suns up, down the stairs he came. she heard

                  A                    E
 him coming, she stood there just the same, hey-hey

 E                             D                      E
Featherfoot walked right past Tarbelly into the kitchen

E
Made and ate three sandwiches, drank a pot of

D                                    E
coffee and a bottle of Absolut Vodka.

E
Cut his toes and his hair and his clothes, made

D
three phone calls and answered six all on her charge card.

E                                          A
 All the while, Tarbelly stood in the door.. his eyes are bulging out

E                                       A
Hands high on his hips, body like a statue,

A                               E
mouth drooling like a leaky spout

E
Eyes bulging out, body like a statue

A
drooling like a leaky spout

E                                    D
Now Featherfoot got to thinking he'd like to go out

    E                                 D
and Tarbelly stood in the way And he thought,

D
and he thought of the game he used to

E                          D
play. In His Youth, called swing the statue

     E
And He took Tarbelly by the wrists

       D
and he carried Her out into the yard

    B
And round and round and round he swung

    B
and round and round and round he swung

    B
And round and round he swung,

B                    E
and then he let her fly--

E               A
Fly-fly away up high. Over the hills and air

    E
she flew. And when she stopped, no one

   A
could say you can’t chase a shadow across the

E                                        A
day. You can’t chase a shadow across the

A
Day, you can’t chase a shadow across the

E
Day. you can’t Take a love without giving

   A                 E    E  E
It away, giving It away.
