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.

"Bottoming Out"
"Legendary Hearts" (1983)
[Intro]
A F#m Bm E (x2)
[Verse]
A
I'm cruising fast on a motorcycle
F#m
down this winding country road
Bm
And I pass the gravel on the foot of the hill
E
Where last week I fell off
A
There's still some oil by the old elm tree
F#m
And a dead squirrel that I hit
Bm
But if I hadn't left I would have struck you dead
E
So I took a ride instead
[Chorus]
A F#m
Bottoming out, bottoming out
Bm E
Bottoming out, bottoming out
[Verse]
A
My doctor says, she hopes I know
F#m
How lucky I can be
Bm
After all, it wasn't my blood
E
Mixed in the dirt that night
A
But this violent rage that's turned inward
F#m
Can not be held by a drink
Bm
And we must really examine this and I say
E
"I need another drink."
[Chorus]
A F#m
Bottoming out, bottoming out
Bm E
Bottoming out, bottoming out
[Verse]
A
I'm tearing down Route 80 east
F#m
The sun's on my right side
Bm
I'm drunk, but my vision's good
E
And I think of my child bride
A
And on the left in shadows, I see
F#m
Something that makes me laugh
Bm
I aim that bike at the fat pothole
E
Beyond that underpass
[Chorus]
A F#m
Bottoming out, bottoming out
Bm E
Bottoming out, bottoming out
