Hello it's me - Lou Reed/John Cale
(from the album Songs for Drella, 1990)

Basically the chord progression is A  F#m  E.
Most of the time, however, the F#m is played
as a F#m7. The way the chords are played varies, I
only sorted out the first verse.

(intro)
A          F#m7      E           A         F#m       E

 Hello it's me

(I know I messed up the timing, but to play it correctly you'll have
to listen to the original anyway. It's too complex to put on paper
for me).

Andy it's me, haven't seen you in a while
I wished I talked to you more when you were alive
I thought you were self-assured when you acted shy
hello it's me

I really miss you, I really miss your mind
I haven't heard ideas like that for such a long, long time
I loved to watch you draw and watch you paint
but when I saw you last I turned away

When Billy Name was sick and locked up in his room
you asked me for some speed, I thought it was for you
I'm sorry that I doubted your good heart
things always seem to end before they start

Hello it's me, that was a great gallery show
your cow wallpaper and your floating silver pillows
I wish I paid more attention when they laughed at you
Hello it's me

Pop goes pop artist, the headline said
is shooting a put on, is Warhol really dead?
you get less time for stealing a car
I remember thinking as I heard my own record in a bar

They really hated you, now all that's changed
but I have some resentments that can never be unmade
you hit me where it hurt I didn't laugh
your diaries are not a worthy epitaph

Well now Andy, guess we've got to go
I hope some way somehow you like this little show
I know it is late in coming but it's the only way I know
hello it's me, goodnight Andy

goodbye Andy
