The INTRO is played at the beginning, (obviously,) but also after the choruses and the bridge. It's just a G chord, then sliding down your middle finger and pinkie to the 7th fret(relative to the capo), sliding back up to a chord the shape of a G just one fret up, and then back down to the original G (Watch the video, you'll see what I mean.) Also, during the kazoo break and the Bridge, he does this thing with the Em chord: Em

{tab: e |--3-3-3--3--|}

{tab: B |--0-0-0--0--|}

{tab: G |--0-0-0--0--|}

{tab: D |--2-2-0--0--| }

{tab: A |--2-2-0--2--| }

{tab: E |--0-0-0--0--|}

Note that you hammer down with your middle finger back onto the D string. He also does this with the G: G

{tab: e |--3-3-3-3--| }

{tab: B |--0-0-0-0--|}

{tab: G |--0-0-0-0--|}

{tab: D |--0-0-0-0--| }

{tab: A |--2-2-0-2--| }

{tab: E |--3-3-3-0--|}

You can lift your middle AND index, then hammer down with the index, but I prefer the method tabbed above. I would recommend watching the video a few times to get the timing during the kazoo break, (and all the other parts) So, here it is:

INTRO

VERSE

Em C Em G Em The murderess undresses her late night victim G D Em Bm7 Em He's got a fine physique, that's why she picked him G D She takes a swig of port then sits A Am Em D Upon his rigor mortised bits till dawn G D Bm Em D G She's the sickest lass in all of Sickdom

CHORUS

D Sickdom is a realm C G Where saintly souls are overwhelmed, Em Bm7 Em Bm7 Em Their grace erased and then replaced with base depravity D G C Its denizens are menacing, yet fill you full of calm Em D G By shoving opiated balm up in your cavity...

INTRO

VERSE

Em C Em G Em The murderess confesses to the handsome priest G D Em Bm7 Em But he doesn't hear a word, as he's deceased G D She tears his frock & socks off and A Am Em D Prepares to get her rocks off by smearing him G D Bm Em D G In the extremely unctuous gunk with which she's greased KAZOO BREAK D G Em “W” Em Bm7 Em D G Em Bm7 Em D G

BRIDGE

D Em The murderess caresses her machete Am Em And curls up on a deep magenta settee D G The scent of fetid gent is strong and heady A D6 G As she slips out of her pinkish patchwork teddy

INTRO

VERSE

Em C Em G Em The murderess's tresses grow gray and thin G D Em Bm7 Em And then the ravages of time do her in G D She punts across the Styx to dwell A Am Em D But cannot get her kicks so well in Hades, G D Bm Em D G Where cavorting with the dead is not a sin, rickety-tin, Em D G D G How she longs to live in Sickdom once again…

CHORUS
