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.

[Verse]
F E Fmaj7b5
They call you ecstasy,nothing ever sticks to you
F E
Not Velcro, not Scotch Tape
Fmaj7b5
Not my arms dipped in glue
F E
Not if I wrap myself in nylon
Fmaj7b5
A piece of duct tape down my back
F E
Love pierced the arrow with a 12
Fmaj7b5
And I can't get you back
[Chorus]
F E Fmaj7b5
Ah, ecstasy, ecstasy
F E Fmaj7b5
Ecstasy, ah, ecstasy
[Verse]
F E
Across the streets an old Ford
Fmaj7b5
They took off its wheels, the engine is gone
F E
In it seat sits a box
Fmaj7b5
With a note that says, "Goodbye Charlie, thanks a lot"
F E
I see a child through a window with a bib
Fmaj7b5
And I think of us and what we almost did
F E
The Hudson rocketing with light
Fmaj7b5
Ships pass the Statue of Liberty at night
[Chorus]
F E Fmaj7b5
Ah, ecstasy, ecstasy
F E Fmaj7b5
Ecstasy, ah, ecstasy
[Verse]
F E
Some men call me St. Ivory
Fmaj7b5
Some call me St. Maurice
F E
I'm smooth as alabaster
Fmaj7b5
With white veins running through my cheeks
F E
Big stud through my eyebrow
Fmaj7b5
A scar on my arm that says, "Domain"
F E
I put it over the tattoo
Fmaj7b5
That contained your name
[Chorus]
F E Fmaj7b5
Ah, ecstasy, ecstasy
F E Fmaj7b5
Ecstasy, ah, ecstasy
[Verse]
F E
The moon passing through a cloud
Fmaj7b5
A body facing up is floating towards a crowd
F E
And I think of a time and what I couldn't do
Fmaj7b5
I couldn't hold you close, I couldn't become you
F
They call you ecstasy
E Fmaj7b5
I can't hold you down, I can't hold you up
F E
I feel like that car that I saw today
Fmaj7b5
No radio, no engine, no hood
F E
I'm going to the cafe, I hope they've got music there
Fmaj7b5
And I hope those guys can play
F
But if we have to part
E
I'll have a new scar right over my heart
Fmaj7b5
I'll call it ecstasy
[Chorus]
F E Fmaj7b5
Ah, ecstasy, ecstasy
F E Fmaj7b5
Ecstasy, ah, ecstasy
