"Even if you're improvising, the fact that beforehand you know certain things will work helps you to make those improvisations successful most of the time."John Cale

Andy it's me, haven't seen you in a while
F#m D
I wished I talked to you more when you were alive
A C#m F#m
I thought you were self-assured when you acted shy
Bm7 E
Hello it's me
A E
I really miss you, I really miss your mind
F#m7 D
I haven't heard ideas like that in such a long, long time
A F#m E
I loved to watch you draw and watch you paint
A F#m E
But when I saw you last I turned away
A E
When Billy Name was sick and locked up in his room
F#m D
You asked me for some speed, I though it was for you
A F#m E
I'm sorry that I doubted your good heart
A E E
Things always seem to end before they start
A E
Hello it's me, that was a great gallery show
F#m D
Your cow wallpaper and your floating silver pillows
A C#m F#m
I wish I paid more attention when they laughed at you
Bm7 E
Hello it's me
"Pop goes pop artist," the headline said
"Is shooting a put-on, is Warhol really dead?"
You get less time for stealing a car
I remember thinking as I heard my own record in a bar
They really hated you, now all that's changed
But I have some resentments that can never be unmade
You hit me where it hurt I didn't laugh
Your Diaries are not a worthy epitaph
Oh well now Andy - guess we've got to go
I hope some way somehow you like this little show
I know it's late in coming but it's the only way I know
Bm7 E
Hello it's me - goodnight Andy...

Goodbye, Andy
