Chords for Jackson Browne – Don’t Let Us Get Sick (Live From Home)

[N] _ _ This is a song written by [C] a [G] great, great songwriter,
my good friend Warren [Gb] Zeevon, [D] who _ gave us this [C] song
and in so doing, [Bb] left us with one of the great songs that
can be sung on any occasion. _
It's filled with _ _ both _ doom _ and gratitude,
[N] _ _
_ because it [Bb] begins with the idea that, [A] like,
don't let us get sick.
[G] Don't let us get old.
[Ab] Of [N] course, we _ [Bb] don't have to get sick,
but [C] we do have to get old.
[Dm] _ _ _ _ [N] Oh, _ _ _ and [Db] the question of gratitude, [Ab] of course,
is always there.
_ [Bb] How to [A] [Ab] access our gratitude, [A] how to be grateful for what we have
[Ab] and to _
[N] _ _ _ [G] help others also [F] find their gratitude.
_ This [Eb] is called Don't Let Us Get Sick.

_ _ _ [Ab] Make us [Eb] be brave [Gm] and make us play [Cm] nice.

Let us be [Eb] together tonight. _ _
The sky was on fire [Fm] as I walked to [Eb] the mill
to take up the slack in [Cm] the blind.
_ [Ab] I thought of [Eb] my friends and [G] the troubles
they've [Cm] had to [Ab] keep me from [Eb] thinking of mine.
_ _ Don't let us get sick.
[Fm] Don't let us get [Eb] old.

_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
[Cm] _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
The moon has a face and it [Ab] smiles on the [Eb] lake
and it causes [Gm] the ripples [C] in time.
_ I'm [Eb] lucky to be here [G]
with someone [Eb] I like
[Ab] who maketh [Eb] my spirit to shine.
_ _ Don't let us get sick.
[Ab] Don't let us get [Eb] old.
Don't let [Gm] us get stupid, [Cm] all right. _ _

[Ab] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
_ [Ab] Make us [Eb] be brave and make us play [Cm] nice.
[Ab] And let us be [Bb] together [Eb] tonight. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
