				"Vicious"
				(Lou Reed)

[Inspired by Andy Warhol, who told Lou Reed "I think you should write a
 song called 'Vicious'."]

Intro [main riff, 2X]:
	D     C  G     C *
	/ / / /  / / / /
			* bass plays A under second C chord throughout

Verse 1:

	D       C  G
	Vicious
	     C             D      C  G
	You hit me with a flower
	    C            D    C  G
	You do it every hour
	           C         D      C  G  C
	Ohh, baby you're so vicious

Verse 2:

	Vicious
	You want me to hit you with a stick
	But all I've got's a guitar pick
	                        D   C G  D
	                        / / / /  /
	Huh... baby you're so vicious

Bridge 1:

	A
	When I watch you come
	G               D   C G  D
	                / / / /  /
	I just want to run   far away
	A
	You're not the kind of person
	G                      D   C    D
	                       / / / /  /
	Around whom I want to stay

	Em    F#m              G
	When I see you comin' down the street
	   Em           F#m         G
	I step on your hands and I mangle your feet
	       Em              F#m            G     A
	You're not the kind of person that I wanna meet
	                     D
	Oh, baby, you're so vicious

	[Guitar solo over main riff]

	(You're just so vicious)

[repeat verse 1]

Verse 3:

	Vicious
	Hey, why don't you swallow razor blades
	You must think I'm some kinda gay blade
	                     D   C G  D
	                     / / / /  /
	But baby, you're so vicious

Chorus 2:

	When I watch you comin'
	I just have to run
	You're not good and you certainly aren't very much fun
	When I see you walkin' down the street
	I step on your hand and I mangle your feet
	You're not the kind of person that I even wanna meet
	'Cause you're so vicious

Coda [repeat main riff to fade]:

	Vicious
	Vicious...
