"HookyWooky" by Lou Reed from Set the Twilight Reeling
d= single note
D= chord
You can figure out the strumming pattern by listening to the record.
intro: D D D D, etc.
I'm standing with you on your roof 
D D D D, etc.
Looking at the chemical sky
     
D,etc.
All purple blue and oranges, some pigeons flying by
    
D, etc.
The traffic on Canal Street's so noisy it's a shock
    
D D, etc.
Someone's shooting fireworks or a gun on the next block.
D D D D D G A D D D D, etc.
A-a-and, I wanna HookyWooky with you.
Traffic's so noisy it's a shock, 
sounds like fireworks or a gun on the next block
A D D D D D, etc.
HookyWooky with you.
That's really all there is to the whole song. the last verse is a little
different, but easy to figure out once you have the chords.
