Biografía:
Sycamore Smith is the stage name of Marc Smith, a musician from Marquette, Michigan. Smith, formerly of The Muldoons, has toured the United States with his uniquely comic brand of folk music, complete with derby hat, guitar, and kazoo.
Though little known outside of the Michigan area, his popularity is slowly growing, in most part due to his excellent website and some loyal fans spreading the word. Sycamore is an accomplished lyricist, and his songs often reflect his love of his home area and his atheism (Hokum All Ye Faithful).

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:
INTRO
VERSE:
Em C Em G Em
The murderess undresses her late night victim
G D Em Bm7 Em
He's got a fine physique, that's why she picked him
G D
She takes a swig of port then sits
A Am Em D
Upon his rigor mortised bits till dawn
G D Bm Em D G
She's the sickest lass in all of Sickdom
CHORUS:
D
Sickdom is a realm
C G
Where saintly souls are overwhelmed,
Em Bm7 Em Bm7 Em
Their grace erased and then replaced with base depravity
D G C
Its denizens are menacing, yet fill you full of calm
Em D G
By shoving opiated balm up in your cavity...
INTRO
VERSE:
Em C Em G Em
The murderess confesses to the handsome priest
G D Em Bm7 Em
But he doesn't hear a word, as he's deceased
G D
She tears his frock & socks off and
A Am Em D
Prepares to get her rocks off by smearing him
G D Bm Em D G
In the extremely unctuous gunk with which she's greased
KAZOO BREAK
D G Em “W” Em Bm7 Em D G Em Bm7 Em D G
BRIDGE:
D Em
The murderess caresses her machete
Am Em
And curls up on a deep magenta settee
D G
The scent of fetid gent is strong and heady
A D6 G
As she slips out of her pinkish patchwork teddy
INTRO
VERSE:
Em C Em G Em
The murderess's tresses grow gray and thin
G D Em Bm7 Em
And then the ravages of time do her in
G D
She punts across the Styx to dwell
A Am Em D
But cannot get her kicks so well in Hades,
G D Bm Em D G
Where cavorting with the dead is not a sin, rickety-tin,
Em D G D G
How she longs to live in Sickdom once again…
