New York Telephone Conversation

by Lou Reed

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.

[Verse 1]

C G F G
I was sleeping, gently napping
Am E Am E Am
when I heard the phone
F G C G
Who is on the other end talking
F G C G C
am I even home

[Verse 2]

Did you see what she did to him
did you hear what they said
Just a New York conversation
rattling in my head

[Chorus]

G# G C G C F G C G C
Oh, oh, my, and what shall we wear
G# G C G C F G C G C
Oh, oh, my, and who really cares

[Verse 3]

Just a New York conversation
gossip all of the time
Did you hear who did what to whom
happens all the time

[Verse 4]

Who has touched and who has dabbled
here in the city of shows
Openings, closings, bad repartee
everybody knows

[Chorus 2]

Oh, how sad and why do we call
Oh, I'm glad to hear from you all

I am calling, yes I am calling
just to speak to you
For I know this night will kill me
if I can't be with you
F C/E Dm G C
If I can't be with you
