Warren Zevon - Don't Let Us Get Sick chords
Start Jamming...
Life Will Kill Ya closes with this song that's almost a prayer.
It's called Don't Let Us Get Sick.
It's such a beautiful end piece.
I know you don't write songs anticipating a reaction, but
have you gotten a response from people that have heard that song?
What's it been like?
I don't know.
I think people like it.
It means a lot to me.
[Bb] Why does Don't Let Us Get Sick mean a lot to you?
Because it's pretty good and therefore I consider myself lucky to have written it.
And because it has a lot of feelings for a lot of people.
For me to say that it's got a lot of feelings for a lot of my friends in it is quite an admission.
It's more than I normally say about my [C] songs.
