Venus by Television: words and music Tom Verlaine rough transcription by Sam Inglis NB this is more or less arranged for solo guitar: for twin guitars, try transposing these parts up an octave (I think this is what Richard Lloyd plays) and have the second guitarist play the chords... I haven't transcribed the solo part; it's all cool stuff with the volume control which I can't play anyway. The F at the start of the third / sixth bars of the chorus is bent up from an E, I think. Chorus (and intro: the intro consists of bars 3 and 4 of the chorus repeated, followed by the last 3 and a half bars).
