SICKENING SONG
by Martin Tielli
transcribed by Tim Allard


Dm
Sing me a sickening song.
             A
Make it last long.
              Dm
I am only beginning
Dm
To understand what makes it wrong,
                      A
What makes it strong;
            Dm
Septically speaking.


Dm
Second step down from the top...
                A
Then I must stop,
                 Dm
Look down, and consider it.
Dm
What would I break should I drop?
               A
Fell from the top,
                 Dm
When I'm only beginning...


   Dm   G            C          F
And try, something wrong
              Dm         G
Is going to happen
          C          F
By the end;
        Dm               Dm/C      Dm/B
So to come by the end of this song,
    Dm/A#       A
So make it last long.
             Dm
I am only beginning.


Dm
I can't stop writing punk rock,
               A                                 Dm
Because I am stuck... in a ghetto of folkies.
Dm
If something as dumb comes along,
                   A
Please give me some,
                      Dm
'Cause this isn't the 60's.


  Dm   G              C        F
And try something new
                Dm        G
Is going to happen
          C      F
By the end;
Dm     Dm/C        Dm/B
By the end of this song,
     Dm/A#             A
So, please give me some,
                 Dm         G     C     F
I am only beginning.


      Dm             Dm/C        Dm/B
Oh, come by the end of this song,
Dm/A#            A
Please give me some.
                  Dm
I am only beginning.
