                               "Venus In Furs"
                                 (Lou Reed)
                           The Velvet Underground
                    The Velvet Underground & Nico,  1967

For my arrangement, tune the B (2nd) string down to an A (EADGAE), and then
capo at the 4th fret, so you get that "drone" sound out of the guitar.

	Chords are implicit.
