THAT'S THE STORY OF MY LIFE
Bb Eb F
That's the story of my life
C F G
That's the difference between wrong and right
F G Am G
But Billy said both those words are dead
Dm G
That's the story of my life
Repeat twice
Instrumental break:
C-F-G
C-F-G
F-G-Am
Dm-G
Repeat verse again, end on G.
These are the chords in standard tuning. You may find it easier to use a
capo and transpose to chords that are somewhat easier to play. Capo on
third fret would make the progression:
G-C-D
A-D-E
D-E-F#m-D
Bm-E

| The Billy mentioned in ths song refers to Billy Name who was the Factory's unofficial photographer, Andy Warhol's boyfriend, and later Lou Reed's. During the Factory years Lou Reed and Billy Name were interested in matters of the occult and Billy would often state things like that. When Billy Name locked himself in the Factory's darkroom for a year (letting only Lou Reed and a few others in) Lou Reed claimed that he regretted ever getting Billy interested in astrology and magic. | |

| I love how this song seems to go in a circle. The story of his life is the difference between wrong and right and Billy said those words are dead and that is also the story of his life. Thus every line is every other line. It makes me dizzy. | |
