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.

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.
