The Velvet Underground – Heroin (Ukulele)

D   G       D    G     D         G       D       G
I don't know just where I'm going

    D        G         D           G            D
But I'm gonna try for the kingdom if I can

                G               D                    
Cos it makes me feel like I'm a man

             G             D
When I put a spike into my vein

              G                       D
And I tell ya things aren't quite the same

         G             D                            
When I'm rushing on my run

      G                     D                    
And I feel just like Jesus' son

      G                       D                 
And I guess that I just don't know

      G                        D      G     D       G   
And I guess that I just don't know

D     G        D   G         D         G     D
I have made a big decision

D     G        D    G          D
I'm gonna try to nullify my life

             G               D
Cos when the blood begins to flow

       G                       D
And it shoots up the dropper's neck

         G             D
When I'm closing in on death

          G               D
You can't help me not you guys

                  G                         D
Oh all you sweet girls with all your sweet talk

        G             D
You can all go take a walk

      G                       D
And I guess that I just don't know

      G                       D      G      D      G
And I guess that I just don't know

D    G      D      G        D               G        D      G
I wish that I was born a thousand years ago

D    G      D      G                    D
I wish that I'd sailed the darkened seas

     G                 D
On a great big clipper ship

           G                 D
Going from this land here to that

         G                 D
Oh in a sailor's suit and cap

     G            D
Away from the big city

        G              D
Where a man can not be free

           G             D
Of all the evils of this town

          G               D
And of himself and those around

          G                       D
Oh and I guess that I just don't know

          G                       D      G     D      G
Oh and I guess that I just don't know

D   G   D   G            D           G       D      G
Her oin it'll be the death of me

D   G   D   G       D               G
Her oin it's my wife and it's my life

          G              D
Because a mainline in my vein

           G            D
Leads to a center in my head

             G             D
And then I'm better off as dead

             G               D
Cos when the smack begins to flow

      G                    D
Oh I really don't care anymore

              G                D
Bout all the jim-jims in this town

                G                    D
And all the politicians making crazy sounds

              G                      D
And everybody puttin' everybody else down

                 G                  D
And all the dead bodies piled up in Nam

             G               D
Cos when the smack begins to flow

      G                    D
And I really don't care anymore

              G           D
When that heroin is in my blood

        G              D
And the blood is in my head

             G                       D
Then I thank God that I'm as good as dead

               G                 D
And thank your God that I'm not aware

          G                     D
And thank God that I just don't care

      G                       D
And I guess that I just don't know

      G                       D      G       D        G
And I guess that I just don't know
