by Lou Reed From: 'Lou Reed' (1972)
        D                             G
        I was talking to Chuck in his Genghis Khan suit

                D
        and his wizard's hat

                                  G
        He spoke of his movie and how he was making

          D
        a new soundtrack

            C                G           D
        And then we spoke of kids on the coast

            C                  G       D
        and different types of organic soap

            C          G                 D
        And the way suicides don't leave notes

                         A
        Then we spoke of Lorraine
always back to Lorraine
        D                              G
        I was speaking to Phil who was given to pills

                  D
        and small racing cars

                                      G
        He had given 'em up since his last crack-up

                    D
        had carried him too far

        C                G           D
        Then we spoke of movies and verse

            C          G                D
        and the way an actress held her purse

            C               G               D
        And the way life at times could get worse

                         A
        Then we spoke of Lorraine
always back to Lorraine
            D            G
        Ah, she's a wild child

            D              G
        and nobody can get at her

        D            G
        She's a wild child

                D              G
        oh, and nobody can get to her

        Bm                                        
        Sleeping out on the street

        G          D   G     
        Oh, living all alone

        D                    G
        without a house or a home

                                F#m
        and then she asked you, please

                  A
        hey baby, can I have some spare change

                             D
        Oh, can I break your heart

                     G     D
        She's a wild child

                     G     D
        she's a wild child

        D                      G
        I was talking to Betty about her auditions

                 D
        how they made her ill

                                   G
        The life of the theater is certainly fraught

                  D
        with many spills and chills

        C                   G          D
        But she calmed down after some wine

        C                     G           D
        which is what happens most of the time

        C               G             D
        Then we sat and both spoke in rhyme

                         A
        Till we spoke of Lorraine
ah, it's always back to Lorraine
        D                              G
        I was talking to Ed who'd been reported dead

           D
        by mutual friends

                                G
        He thought it was funny that I had no money

        D
        to spend on him

        C                   G              D
        So we both shared a piece of sweet cheese

        C               G             D
        and sang of our lives and our dreams

        C                       G            D
        And how things can come apart at the seams

                         A
        And we talked of Lorraine
always back to Lorraine
        D            G
        She's a wild child

                D              G
        oh, and nobody can get at her

        D            G
        She's a wild child

                D              G
        oh, and nobody can get to her

        Bm                         
        Sleeping out on the street

        G          D   G
        Oh, living all alone

        D                    G
        without a house or a home

                                F#m
        and then she asked you, please

                 A
        oh baby, can I have some spare change

                             D
        Now can I break your heart

                     G     D
        She's a wild child

                     G     D
        she's a wild child
