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)

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
That's it, please send corrections, reactions etc to

Someone please post something of Prince or Miles Davis.
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official FOREIGNER tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
