Warren Zevon – Dont Let Us Get Sick chords

Don’t Let Us Get Sick – WARREN ZEVON – “LIFE’LL KILL YA” – 1999


The weird “Cmajsus2” chord is played x2001x

I pluck the strings individually like he does, rather than strum, it definitely sounds
better that way. Also, when it comes to the Am chord at the end of the third line of the
verse/chorus (i.e “all right?” “the line” and “in time”), he does a little decoration 
phrase where he plucks the last three strings of the Am chord kinda quickly, listen out for
it in the song, it’s a nice touch.

I’m pretty sure it’s all correct here, maybe not exactly how he plays it but it sounds
good, that’s for sure. Another classic by Warren Zevon, enjoy and please leave comments
if you find any mistakes.
