for 2nd and 3rd verses and chours Thought of you as my mountain top Thought of you as my peak Thought of you as everything I had but couldn't keep I had but couldn't keep Linger on your pale blue eyes Linger on your pale blue eyes If I could make the world as pure And strange as what I see I'd put you in my mirror I'd put in front of me I'd put in front of me Linger on your pale blue eyes Linger on

life completly Stuff it in a cup She said that money is like us in time It lies but it can't stand up Down for you is up Linger on your pale blue eyes Linger on your pale blue eyes It was good what we did yesterday And I'd do it once again The fact that you are married Only proves you're my best friend But it's truely truely a sin Linger on your pale blue eyes Linger on your pale blue eyes ~From: Scott A. Yanoff PALE BLUE EYES (The Velvet Underground) F Sometimes I feel so happy Bb Sometimes I feel so sad F Dm Sometimes I feel just about everything Bb C F Lately I'm just feeling bad Bb C F Lately I'm just feeling bad C F C F Linger on your pale blue eyes I thought of you as my mountain top I thought of you as my peak I thought of you as just about everything I had but couldn't keep I had but couldn't keep Transcribed by Zach Pollock This is the author's own work There are two guitar parts to this song, the Rhythm chords have been previously submitted to the archive. This is a full Tab of the Lead Guitar part including the Solo. Some Lyrics have been included to illustrate the phrasing. The original is played on a very clean electric guitar though this sounds pretty nice acoustic too. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ |-----------------------||-----------------------||-----------------------| |---10------10--------8-||---10-----10-------8---||----10-----10-------8--| |-----------------------||-----------------------||-----------------------| |8/10----10---10--6/8---||8/10----10---10--6/8---||8/10----10---10--6/8---| |-----------------------||-----------------------||-----------------------| |-----------------------||-----------------------||-----------------------| Sometimes... ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ |--------------------------------||--------------------------------| |----10---------10-----------8---||--------------------------------| |--------------------------------||---10--10h12--10h12p10--7/10----| |8/10-------10----10----6/8------||8-------------------------------| |--------------------------------||--------------------------------| |--------------------------------||--------------------------------| Happy Sometimes I feel so ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ |-----------------------||-----------------------||------5----------------| |---10------10-------8--||---10------10-------8--||6--------6-------------| |-----------------------||-----------------------||---------------7-------| |8/10----10---10--8-----||8/10----10----10--8----||---------------------0-| |-----------------------||-----------------------||-----------------------| |-----------------------||-----------------------||-----------------------| Sad Sometimes...
