Biography:
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.

When you really hit those chords HARD, with single strokes, it's very powerful.
Have your kids join in at the appropriate point :-)
A = 002220
A6 = 002222
As4 = 002230
A9 = 002200
A* = 000200 (not at all sure this is right)

Aix = x009b9 (D shape at 9)
D = x00323
D9 = x00320
G = 320003 and MUST be played like this
Giii = x55433 (E shape, barre 3)
Gvii = x00797 (D shape at 7)
h = hammer-on the whole chord

They've taken her children away
G D G D
Because they said she was not a good mother

They've taken her children away

Because she was making it with sisters and brothers
G D G D
And everyone else, all of the others

They've taken her children away
Because they said she was not a good mother
They've taken her children away
Because of the things that they said she had done
The black air-force sergeant was not the first one and
All of the drugs she took
G D A A9 A
Every one, every one
[Chorus]

And I am the water boy

The real game's not over here

I'm just the tired man

They're taking her children away
Because they said she was not a good mother
They're taking her children away
Because number one was the girlfriend from Paris
The things that they did they didn't have to ask us
And then the Welshmen from India, we came here to stay
They're taking her children away
Because they said she was not a good mother
They're taking her children away
Because of the things she did in the streets
In the alleys and bars no she couldn't be beat
That miserable rotten slut couldn't turn anyone away
