This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

"Kill Your Sons" is one of the best Lou Reed-songs. My bass version is the "Live in concert-bass version". The bass of the studio version is much more difficult.

Enjoy this song and don't forget: ROCK AND ROLL CAN NEVER DIE!!!
