Christa Päffgen fue cantautora, modelo, actriz de Federico Fellini y Warhol superstar, mejor conocida por su seudónimo Nico. Se la recuerda principalmente por su colaboración con The Velvet Underground en 1967 y haber sido amante de Jim Morrison, John Cale e Iggy Pop.
La fecha y lugar de su nacimiento no están del todo claros. Muchas fuentes aseguran que fue el 16 de octubre de 1938 en Colonia, Alemania. Sin embargo, al menos otras dos fuentes sitúan su nacimiento en Budapest (Hungría), el 15 de marzo de 1943.

Nico, Lou Reed & John Cale - Little Sister (1967) Transcribed 27/12-2015 by Jon Malmin ([email protected]) Tuning: Standard (Capo 3rd fret!)
These chords are for guitar with a capo on the 3rd fret. The song is in the key of F major, so if you want to play it on piano for example, the chords would be F and Bb (instead of D and G, respectively).
In the original version, Lou fingerpicks the chords in quite a varied way, so just experiment with the notes. If I were to strum the chords, this is the strumming pattern I would use (the time signature is 6/8. Dots denote sixteenth notes): 1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . 5 . 6 . DD U D U DD U D U
[Intro] DG (x2)
[Verse 1] DG Don't call me home, little sister DG Before the night is done DG My love and I are fleeing DG Running into the sun
[Chorus] DG Turn to fly, go away DG Little bird, please don't stay DG Fare thee well
[Verse 2] DG Take up all your jewels and gold DG Bury them away in the earth DG Let your memory reduce them to dust DG But don't forget the knife that was thrust
[Chorus] DG Turn to fly, go away DG Little bird, please don't stay DG Fare thee well
[Interlude] DG (x4)
[Verse 3] DG Frozen kiss by the fountain DG Running into the sea DG Where shadows choose their horrors DG Designed for music
[Chorus] DG Turn to fly, go away DG Little bird, please don't stay DG Fare thee well
