I've dragged so much stuff off Nevada, I figured it's time to post something.
This is the version from "VU Live 1969" and includes the "Why am I So Shy?"
interlude.
Lisa Says
By Lou Reed
F C Bb
Lisa says on a night like this,
C F
be so nice if you'd give me a kiss.
F C Bb
And Lisa says for just one little smile,
C F
I'll sit next to you for a little while.
CHORUS:

Lisa says, Lisa says, Lisa says, Lisa says
F C Bb
Lisa says you must be some kind of fool,
C F
The way you treat everybody so cruel.

The way you're always staring at the sky.
