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.

"Going Down"
From "Lou Reed" (1972)
[Verse]
A Asus A
When you're in a dream
E
And you think you got your problems all nailed down
A Asus A
Pieces of the scheme
E
Seem to rattle up and then to rattle down
Amaj7 Dmaj7
And when you start to fall
Amaj7 Dmaj7
And those footsteps they start to fade
[Chorus]
Bm E
Well then you know you're going down (going down)
Bm E
Yeah, you're falling all around (going down)
Bm E
And you know you're going down (going down)
D A
For the last time
[Verse]
A Asus A
When you're in the air
E
And you're thinking you'll drift off into the west
A
Your friends polite, advise
Asus
Hey look you're pushing too hard
E
And perhaps you need a rest
Amaj7 Dmaj7
And when you start to fall
Amaj7 Dmaj7
And all those footsteps they start to fade
[Chorus]
Bm E
Well then you know you're going down (going down)
Bm E
Yeah, you're crashing upside down (going down)
Bm E
And you know you're going down (going down)
D
For the last time...
[Bridge]
Amaj7 A7
Time's not what it seems
D Dm
It just seems longer, when you're lonely in this world
Amaj7 A7
Everything it seems would be brighter
D Dm
If your nights were spent with some girl
[Chorus]
Bm E
Yeah, you're falling all around (going down)
Bm E
Yeah, you're crashing upside down (going down)
Bm E
Oh, oh, and you know you're going down (going down)
D A
For the last time
[Outro]
