Rule No. 2 – Damien Rice Tabbed by John MacCarthy This is the first tab I’ve written out, so maybe some of my labels are a bit strange?! I’ve used D* to show this chord E 0 B 3 G 0 D 4 A 5 E x which is basically C moved up 2 frets. Intro and chords used for the verses is: G* (top E open), hammer 1st on B C (repeat) G* C This is what is what if you don't G* C get it like I want you to? Am (hammer 1st on B) So roll the dice Em Am D* There goes my rule number two Am Em So roll the dice and don't ask why C Just keep following me D* Cos I’m following you G C And if she stays with you then you were right D (F#) G C If it's still here when she's gone you're not wrong D(F#) G C Though I stand with this rain on my back D(F#) G C Em D(F#) It feels so damn good to belong (Same chords as above…) This is what I think I need These big fat feelings They hurt my chi (?) So roll the dice There goes my rule number two Roll the dice And don't ask why Just keep eating the food And if she stays with you Then you were right If it's still here when she's gone You're not wrong Though I stand with this rain on my back It feels so damn good Em D(F#) C To belong G C Rule number two: don't be a fool G C D(F#) Rule number three: get up off your knees G C Rule number four: open your door G G D(F#) Rule number five: keep it alive G C Rule number six: don't be pricks* G C D(F#) And rule number eight: don't leave it too late G C Rule number nine: just take your time G C D(F#) G C Rule number one: carpe di - emmmmmmmm** G C G Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm *Damien seems to use ‘wicks’ as a sub for dicks/pricks on radio performances. **My Latin is not really even poor, but I’m pretty sure it means ‘seize the day’. Not sure about the spelling tho.
