Don’t Let Us Get Sick is one of the most beautiful songs ever written. It’s incredibly raw and emotionally direct. And given extra poignancy by the fact that Zevon would be diagnosed with cancer two years after writing. I can barely make it through without breaking down in tears.
I’ve kept the arrangement very simple to match the original. The picking is thumb and two finger but I don’t use the g-string at any point so the thumb is always on the C-string.
I do hope you and your loved-ones are keeping happy and healthy.
