I don't know just where I'm going
But I'm gonna try for the kingdom if I can
Cos it makes me feel like I'm a man
When I put a spike into my vein
And I tell ya things aren't quite the same
When I'm rushing on my run
And I feel just like Jesus' son
And I guess that I just don't know
And I guess that I just don't know
I have made a big decision
I'm gonna try to nullify my life
Cos when the blood begins to flow
And it shoots up the dropper's neck
When I'm closing in on death
You can't help me not you guys
Oh, all you sweet girls with all your sweet talk
You can all go take a walk
And I guess that I just don't know
And I guess that I just don't know
I wish that I was born a thousand years ago
I wish that I'd sailed the darkened seas
On a great big clipper ship
Going from this land here to that
Oh, in a sailor's suit and cap
Away from the big city
Where a man can not be free
Of all the evils of this town
And of himself and those around
Oh, and I guess that I just don't know
Oh, and I guess that I just don't know
Her_____oin, it'll be the death of me
Her_____oin, it's my wife, and it's my life
Because a mainline in my vein
Leads to a center in my head
And then I'm better off as dead
Cos when the smack begins to flow
Oh, I really don't care anymore
'Bout all the jim-jims in this town
And all the politicians making crazy sounds
And everybody puttin' everybody else down
And all the dead bodies piled up in Nam
Cos when the smack begins to flow
And I really don't care anymore
When that heroin is in my blood
And the blood is in my head
Then I thank God that I'm as good as dead
And thank your God that I'm not aware
And thank God that I just don't care
And I guess that I just don't know
And I guess that I just don't know

The beggining of every verse you need to play the strings individually to give it the normal feel, but as soon as the song starts to pick up eg, "Cos it makes me feel like I'm a man" is when you start strumming the chords. I hope that helps

Can you make it work on a uke? Wow! I can play the chords, but getting the desired result... Not really. More because of my playing than chords. The chords do seem spot on.

About this song: Heroin
"Heroin" is a song by The Velvet Underground, released on their 1967 debut album, The Velvet Underground and Nico. Written by Lou Reed in 1964, the song is one of the band's most celebrated compositions, overtly depicting heroin use and abuse. Critic Mark Deming writes, "While 'Heroin' hardly endorses drug use, it doesn't clearly condemn it, either, which made it all the more troubling in the eyes of many listeners".[1]
