Down With Disease — Phish
Chords and lyrics for Down With Disease by Phish (key of G).
Verse 1
This chord sheet/tab is meant to help the person who has played this song
for ages but now needs to sing
lyrics they've ignored for years, or for the keyboardist who hates
translating guitar tabs into chords. I had
to put this together for my band and perhaps others might find it helpful!
