Pale Blue Eyes Chords

(ver. 1)
Lou Reed
This is the Velvet Underground classic song "PALE BLUE EYES" off of their self titled 
released in 1969. This tab, however, is Lou's solo rendition of it from Sessions At West 
Street, on October 31st, 1998 (see video below).

Most of the versions on here are the studio cut in the key of F, but I think there's 
about this version (in G) that just breathes new life into this song and added a subtle 
to Lou's worn, 50+ year old vocal chords (at the time), so I tabbed this version.

Dig.
