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
e |--3-3-3--3--|
B |--0-0-0--0--|
G |--0-0-0--0--|
D |--2-2-0--0--|
A |--2-2-0--2--|
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
e |--3-3-3-3--|
B |--0-0-0-0--|
G |--0-0-0-0--|
D |--0-0-0-0--|
A |--2-2-0-2--|
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
