Michael Dorman - Dead Serious Rick Cifras

For the strumming pattern, without a pick and with light palm-muting, pluck the root of the chord
with your thumb when you transition to it and strum the 2 and 4 with your fingernail.
 
Any time you transition to the Dbsus2, slide from 2 to 4 on the 4th string.

[Intro]
Dbsus2
    This is a song about somebody I killed.
 
 
[Verse 1]
Dbsus2                                    Gb
There's a cool breeze that blows wherever Cool Rick goes,
Dbsus2                        Gb
but he just got dead serious on me.
Ebm                Gb
I startled him and made him sick.
  Ab
I took the "Cool" out of Cool Rick
    Gb                   Dbsus2
and now he's Dead Serious... Rick.
 
 
[Chorus]
Dbsus2                          Gb
(But) if I needed you would you come to me?
         Dbsus2               Gb
Put your head on my chest and help me rest,
   Ebm        Gb       Ab     Dbsus2
Like Charley, now that you really know me?
 
 
[Verse 2]
Dbsus2                              Gb
But it's not fair to compare you to Charley, man,
      Dbsus2                    Gb
In regard to the tenderness he gave me.
     Ebm                  Gb
It's easier for him to be near to me.
   Ab                                Gb
He doesn't understand anything about ethics
                          Dbsus2
and he's prob'ly had extensive training.
 
 
[Outro]
    Ab              Gb
I'm sorry, man; I'm sorry I killed...
Dbsus2
Cool Rick.
