SICK CITY - CHARLES MANSON
Throughout the song the strumming is pretty fast with the exception of the first "verse"
where there mostly are single strums.
This song is in D STANDARD tuning, and all the chords are relevant to this.
Bm: Em: A A(bar) Bm(bar)
x x x 5 7
x x 0 5 7
4 0 2 6 8
[4]2 [2]2 [2]0 [7]7 [9]9
x 0 x 5 7
If you want, add a couple of hammerons/ pulloffs on the 3rd and 5th fret of the lower E
string while strumming the Em to make it sound
more like Mansons origional recording.
Intro:
[Em] [A] [Em]
[Em]Restless people
[A]From a sick city
[Em]burnt their houses down
[A]To make the sky look pretty
[Em]What can I do, [A]I'm just a person
[Em]This is the line we always [A]seem to hear
[Em]You just sit, [A]things get worse
[Bm]And watch T[A]V and drink your [Em]beer
[Em]Walking all alone
[A]Not going anywhere
[Em]Walking all alone
[A]Nobody seemed to care
[Em]Restless as the wind
[A]This town is killing me
[Bm]Got to put an [A]end to this [Bm(/A)]restless [Em]misery
Em A(bar)
I'm just one of those restless people
Bm(bar) A(bar)
Can never seem to be
Bm(bar) A(bar)
satisfied With living
[Bm]in this sick old [A]sick old
Sick [Em]city
[Em]It may be too late [A]for me to say goodbye
[Em]And I might be too late
To watch this [A]sick old city die
[Em]Going on the road
Yeah [A]I'm gonna try
To [Bm]say sick [A]city [Bm]so long [A]goodbye
And [Em]die
