Chords for Lou Reed chats Andy Warhol

_ We set out _ [Bb] to make _ music _ [F] and rock and roll songs in particular _ that _ [N] were _ _ aimed at adults.
_ It didn't have anything to do with the art world.
_ _ _ And we_
I wrote the material before we ever met Andy Warhol, _ so it had nothing to do with that. _ _
_ [F] A lot of our friends at the time were painters and movie makers, and we used to_
Before we met Andy, we did a lot of work at the Cinematek, _ where we would make tapes for their movies,
because they didn't have sound, or we'd sit behind the movie screen. _ _
[C] And we did a lot of things like [Gb] that before we met Andy.
[G] So you were quite aware of the visual effects before you met [Eb] him?
Oh yeah, sure. _
[Bb] But did Andy Warhol influence your music in some ways?
[Abm] No.
Not at [F] all?
No, what was really nice was _ _ _ when _ we met Andy, who [Gb] I happen to personally like and admire,
_ _ _ [G] _
what we were doing musically fit very nicely what he was doing filmically.
Filmically, cinematically.
Do you believe filmically?
_ Jesus Christ.
[F] _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ It matched [F] what he was doing cinematically.
A lot of the people he was filming that he was interested in,
that he wanted to put in front of a camera, who were all _
_ _ [Gb] _ [G] amateurs.
They just [Ab] loved being in front of a camera, everybody wanted to be in front of a camera except us.
We didn't want to be in front of the [F] camera.
We liked playing the music for it, but we never wanted to be in front of the camera,
because we didn't see ourselves as those types of people.
_ _ _ _ But I _ suppose when the art world kind of [Gb] meshed with reality for a while in the 60s,
it was _ very, very interesting.
But _ the material I was writing [Bb] just fit in with it perfectly.
_ _ [F] _
It seemed as though I'd written it for it, or he'd filmed it for us,
but it just happened, it [Bb] happened to work out.
_ _ _ The [Cm] nice thing about Andy _ [Eb] is _ Andy _ _ _ was just Warhol, that's all.
There was never any pressure [C] one way or the other.
_ _ It was a group of people [Ab] that went,
[G] it was a group of people from 15 to 30 [Ab] people on any given day, all deciding [C] what to do. _
And we took care of the music.
And [F] they took care of films, they took care of lights, and they took care of dancing, different people.
And it would change sometimes.
_ _ So we had the music to ourselves.
