    not how I've played it for 30 years - two chords, A to E

    there are two three passing notes but I dont count those... they arent really chords... but thats just my interpretation of all this

    Walk On The Wild Side alternates between the I and the IV, with a II thrown in on the climb-up of the verse's 3rd line...."Then I guess she had to crash...", "but she never lost her head" etc.
