The Velvet Underground – I Found A Reason
Loaded (1970)
(All chord and times are approximations. This song is supposed to be in drop D tuning
(DGCFAd). I tuned the song to standard tuning (don't like switching back and forth
too much). This sounds pretty close to the song. If you don't like it, just play the
chords 1 step higher (F = G; Bb = C and so on) on drop D. Solo is the same way (5=7).
I didn't quite get all the riffs in the verses. They change many times. I'll work on
that later. This is a beautiful song (my favorite VU song). It is not too difficult
either.)
