Subject: CRD: Perfect Day — Lou Reed
I couldn’t believe that this wistful strummy song wasn’t at Nevada. So it’s
here now. The original is played on the piano, hence the stupid key and the
capo. But it’s only a semi-tone so why not play it without?

Just a perfect day,
Problems all left alone,
Weekenders on our own.
It’s such fun.
Just a perfect day,
You made me forget myself.
I thought I was someone else,
Someone good.
Oh it’s such a perfect day,
I’m glad I spent it with you.
Oh such a perfect day,
You just keep me hanging on,
You just keep me hanging on.
