Lou Reed (March 2, 1942 - October 27, 2013) was an American rock artist originally from Brooklyn, New York, USA. Especially while a member of the The Velvet Underground in the 1960s, Reed broke new ground for the rock genre in several important dimensions, introducing more mature and intellectual themes to what was then considered a largely simplistic genre of music.
In 1964 Reed moved to New York City and began working as an in-house songwriter for Pickwick Records.

A Maybe I should go and live in Amsterdam Asus2 In a side street near a big canal Bm Spend my evenings in the Van Gogh Museum D What a dream, Van Gogh Museum
A Maybe its time to see Tangiers Asus2 A different lifestyle, some different fears Bm Or maybe I should be in Edinburgh D In a kilt in Edinburgh
AAsus2BmDDm Doin' a modern dance, doin' a modern dance
A Or maybe I should get a farm in southern France Asus2 where the winds are wispy and the villagers dance Bm You and I we'd sleep beneath a moon D Moon in June and sleep till noon
A And maybe you and I could fall in love Asus2 Regain the spirit that we once had Bm You'd let me hold you and touch the night D That shines so bright, so bright with fright
AAsus2BmDDm Doin' a modern dance, doin' a modern dance
A Shit, maybe I could go to Yucatan Asus2 Where women are women, a man's a man Bm No one's confused, ever loses place D With their place in the human race
A Maybe I'm not cut out for city life Asus2 The smell of exhaust, the smell of strife Bm Maybe you don't wanna be a wife D It's not a life being a wife
AAsus2BmDDm Doin' a modern dance, doin' a modern dance
A So maybe I should go to Tanganyik Asus2 Where the rivers run, down mountains tall and steep Bm Or go to India to study chants D And lose romance do a mantra's dance
A I need a guru, I need some law Asus2 Explain to me the things we saw Bm Why it always comes to this D It's all downhill after the first kiss
A Maybe I should move to Rotterdam Asus2 Maybe move to Amsterdam Bm I should move to Ireland, Italy, Spain D Afghanistan where there is no rain
A Or maybe I should just learn a modern dance Asus2 Where roles are shifting the modern dance Bm You never touch you don't know who you're with DDmD This week, this month, this time of year DDm This week, this month, this time of year AAsus2BmDDm Doin' a modern dance
A You don't know who you're with modern dance Asus2 I should move to Pakistan, go to Afghanistan Bm Dance, you don't know who you're with D Dance, you don't know who you're with Dm Modern dance
AAsus2 And maybe you don't wanna be a wife BmDDm It's not life being a wife AAsus2BmDDm Doin' a modern dance
A You never touch you don't know who you're with Asus2 Dance, modern dance BmDDm The roles are shifting (dance) A You never touch you don't know who you're with Asus2 Dance, modern dance Bm Naybe you don't wanna be a wife DDm It's not a life being a wife
