The Intro is played at the beginning, (obviously,) but also after the choruses and the Bridge. It's just a
G chord, then sliding down your middle finger and pinkie to the 7th fret(relative to the capo),
sliding back up to a chord the shape of a G, just one fret up,
and then back down to the original G. (Watch the video, you'll see what I mean.)
Also, during the kazoo break and the Bridge, he does this thing with the Em chord:
Em
e |--3-3-3--3--|
B |--0-0-0--0--|
G |--0-0-0--0--|
D |--2-2-0--0--|
A |--2-2-0--2--|
E |--0-0-0--0--|
Note that you hammer down with your middle finger back onto the D string.
He also does this with the G:
G
e |--3-3-3-3--|
B |--0-0-0-0--|
G |--0-0-0-0--|
D |--0-0-0-0--|
A |--2-2-0-2--|
E |--3-3-3-0--|
You can lift your middle AND index, then hammer down with the index, but I prefer the method tabbed above.
I would recommend watching the video a few times to get the timing during the kazoo break,
(and all the other parts)
So, here it is:
IntroVerse:
EmCEmGEm
The murderess undresses her late night victim
GDEmBm7Em
He's got a fine physique, that's why she picked him
GD
She takes a swig of port then sits
AAmEmD
Upon his rigor mortised bits till dawn
GDBmEmDG
She's the sickest lass in all of Sickdom
Chorus:
D
Sickdom is a realm
CG
Where saintly souls are overwhelmed,
EmBm7EmBm7Em
Their grace erased and then replaced with base depravity
DGC
Its denizens are menacing, yet fill you full of calm
EmDG
By shoving opiated balm up in your cavity...
IntroVerse:
EmCEmGEm
The murderess confesses to the handsome priest
GDEmBm7Em
But he doesn't hear a word, as he's deceased
GD
She tears his frock & socks off and
AAmEmD
Prepares to get her rocks off by smearing him
GDBmEmDG
In the extremely unctuous gunk with which she's greased
KAZOO BREAK
DGEm “W” EmBm7EmDGEmBm7EmDGBridge:
DEm
The murderess caresses her machete
AmEm
And curls up on a deep magenta settee
DG
The scent of fetid gent is strong and heady
AD6G
As she slips out of her pinkish patchwork teddy
IntroVerse:
EmCEmGEm
The murderess's tresses grow gray and thin
GDEmBm7Em
And then the ravages of time do her in
GD
She punts across the Styx to dwell
AAmEmD
But cannot get her kicks so well in Hades,
GDBmEmDG
Where cavorting with the dead is not a sin, rickety-tin,
EmDGDG
How she longs to live in Sickdom once again…
