Chords for Lou Reed - Good Evening Mr. Waldheim - New York Album

[E] _ Good evening, Mr.
Walheim [G#m] and Bonzo, how are you?
[C#m] You have so much in common [B] in the [F#] things you do.
[E] And here comes Jesse Jackson.
[G#m] He talks of common ground.
[C#m] Does that common ground include me?
[B] Or is it [F#] just a [E] sound, a sound that shakes?
_ [B] Oh, Jesse, you [F#] must [B] watch the sounds you make.
_ _ _ _ _ A sound [E] that quakes.
_ [B] There [F#] are fears that still [B]
reverberate. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] Jesse, you say common ground.
Does [G#m] that include the PLO?
[C#m] What about people right here, right now, who [B] fought for you not so long [F#] ago?
[E]
The words that float so freely, [G#m] falling, dancing from your lips.
[C#m] I hope that you don't cheapen [B] them with [F#] a racist slip.
Oh, [E] common ground.
_ [B] Is common [F#] ground a word or [B] just a sound?
_ _ _ _ _ [E] Common ground.
_ _ [B] Remember those [F#] civil rights workers buried [B] in the ground.
_ _ If _ _ [E] _
I ran for president [G#m] and once was a member of the Klan,
_ [C#m]
wouldn't you call me on it the [B] way I call you on [F#] Farrakhan?
[E] And Pontiff, pretty Pontiff, [G#m] can anyone shake your hand?
[C#m] Or is it just that you like uniforms [B] and someone kissing [F#] your hand?
Or [E] is it true _ [B] the common [F#] ground for me [B] includes you too?
_ _ _ _ Or [E] is it true the _ [B] common [F#] ground for me [B] includes you too?
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E]
Good evening, Mr.
Walheim.
[G#m] _ Pontiff, how are you?
[C#m] As you both stroll through the woods at night,
[B] I'm thinking thoughts of [F#] you.
[E] And, Jesse, you're inside my thoughts.
[G#m] The rhythmic words subside.
[C#m] My common ground invites you in.
Or do [B] you prefer to wait [F#] outside?
Or is [E] it true the _ [B] common ground [F#] for me is [B] without you?
_ _ _ _ _ [Em] Or [E] is it true the _ [B] common ground [F#] for me is [B] without you?
_ _ _ _ Or [E] is it true
_ [B] there's no ground [F#] common enough for me [B] and you?
