Damien Rice - Rule No 2 guitar tab

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.
