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)

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
EmRestless people
AFrom a sick city
Emburnt their houses down
ATo make the sky look pretty
EmWhat can I do, AI'm just a person
EmThis is the line we always Aseem to hear
EmYou just sit, Athings get worse
BmAnd watch TAV and drink your Embeer
EmWalking all alone
ANot going anywhere
EmWalking all alone
ANobody seemed to care
EmRestless as the wind
AThis town is killing me
            Bm             A  Bm(/A)   Em  
Got to put an end to this restless 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
Bmin this sick old Asick old
Sick Emcity
EmIt may be too late Afor me to say goodbye
EmAnd I might be too late
To watch this Asick old city die
EmGoing on the road
Yeah AI'm gonna try
To Bmsay sick Acity Bmso long Agoodbye
And Emdie
