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 A minorAm 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 A minorAm 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.

Don't let us get sick
     C majorC
Don't let us get old
    A minorAm
Don't let us get stupid, all right?
   C majorC
Just make us be brave
   A minorAm
And make us play nice
   C majorC
And let us be together tonight


   C majorC
The sky was on fire
      C majorC
When I walked to the mill
   A minorAm
To take up the slack in the line
  C majorC
I thought of my friends
       A minorAm
And the troubles they've had
   C majorC
To keep me from thinking of mine

   C majorC
Don't let us get sick
     C majorC
Don't let us get old
    A minorAm
Don't let us get stupid, all right?
    C majorC
Just make us be brave
    A minorAm
And make us play nice
    C majorC
And let us be together tonight





   C majorC
The moon has a face
     C majorC
And it smiles on the lake
   A minorAm
And causes the ripples in time
   C majorC
I'm lucky to be here
    A minorAm
With someone I like
     C majorC
Who maketh my spirit to shine


     C majorC
Don't let us get sick
     C majorC
Don't let us get old
    A minorAm
Don't let us get stupid, all right?
    C majorC
Just make us be brave
    A minorAm
And make us play nice
    C majorC
