Basically the chord progression is A F#m E.
Most of the time, however, the F#m is played
as a F#m7. The way the chords are played varies, I
only sorted out the first verse.

Hello it s me
(I know I messed up the timing, but to play it correctly you ll have
to listen to the original anyway. It s too complex to put on paper
for me).
Andy it s me, haven t seen you in a while
I wished I talked to you more when you were alive
I thought you were self-assured when you acted shy
hello it s me
I really miss you, I really miss your mind
I haven t heard ideas like that for such a long, long time
I loved to watch you draw and watch you paint
but when I saw you last I turned away
When Billy Name was sick and locked up in his room
you asked me for some speed, I thought it was for you
I m sorry that I doubted your good heart
things always seem to end before they start
Hello it s me, that was a great gallery show
your cow wallpaper and your floating silver pillows
I wish I paid more attention when they laughed at you
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
Well now Andy, guess we ve got to go
I hope some way somehow you like this little show
I know it is late in coming but it s the only way I know
hello it s me, goodnight Andy
goodbye Andy
