I found a reason

Written by Lou Reed

	  		 
Introduction 
 
 
 
F           A#       Gm  
Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa  
F           A#       Gm 
Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa 
  
F                         A#          Gm 
I found a reason to keep living 
F                       A#            Gm             
Oh and the reason, dear, is you 
F                      A#             Gm 
I found a reason to keep singing 
F                       A#            Gm 
Oh and the reason, dear, is you 
 
(1:05) 
F          Dm 
Oh I do believe 
F                             Dm 
If you don't like things you leave 
F          Dm                  A# 
For some place you never gone before 
 
(1:25) 
F           A#       Gm 
Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa 
F           A#       Gm 
Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa 
Ooh  
 
 
(1:45) 
F                    A#                   Gm 
Honey, I found a reason to keep living 
F                      A#                 Gm         
And you know the reason, dear it's you 
F                                          A#                          Gm 
And I've walked down life's lonely highways  hand in hand with myself 
F             A#                                       Gm              
And I realized  how many paths have crossed between us 
 
 
F          Dm 
Oh I do believe 
F                       Dm 
You're all what you perceive 
F              Dm                      A# 
What comes is better than what came before 
 
 
Solo (2:39) 
 
 
 
(3:14) 
F          Dm 
Oh I do believe 
F                       Dm 
You're all what you perceive 
F              Dm                      A# 
What comes is better than what came before 
 
 
F           A#       Gm 
Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa 
F           A#       Gm 
Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa 
  
 
(3:50) 
                  F     C          A#     F 
And you'd better come, come come, come to me 
F            C      A# 
Come, come, come to me (you better) 
F            C      A# 
Come, come, come to me 
F              F (let ring) 
Pa pa pa pa pa pa 
 
All chord and times are approximations.  This song is supposed to be in drop D tuning 
(DGCFAd).  I tuned the song to standard tuning (don't like switching back and forth 
too much).  This sounds pretty close to the song.  If you don't like it, just play the 
chords 1 step higher (F = G; A# = C and so on) on drop D.  Solo is the same way (5=7). 
I didn't quite get all the riffs in the verses.  They change many times.  I'll work on 
that later.  This is a beautiful song (my favorite VU song).  It is not too difficult 
either.  Enjoy it.
