What goes on in your mind
I think that I am falling down
What goes on in your mind
I think that I am upside down
Lady be good, do what you should
you know it will work all right
Lady be good, do what you should
you know it will be all right
I'm going up and I'm going down
I'm gonna fly from side to side
See the bells up in the sky
somebody's cut the string in two
Lady be good, do what you should
you know it will work all right
Lady be good, do what you should
you know it will be all right
One minute one, one minute two
one minute up and one minute down
What goes on in your mind
I think that I am falling down
Lady be good, do what you should
you know it will work all right
Lady be good, do what you should
you know it will be all right

Your site doesn't have the solo for What Goes On
by the Velvet Underground,
so here is my attempt at it.
I didn't realise it was sposed to be downtuned
so I have done it in Standard Tuning.
If downtuned, simply play the same thing 2 frets higher!
This was done by listening to the live version from the Box Set.
The version on the record
is lots of takes of the same solo mixed together.
I'm doing this from memory, so it may be a bit wrong.
