Chords for Slick Rick - Childrens Story (Lyrics)

_ Come _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ [Fm] with me.
Would you read us a bedtime story, [F#] please, huh?
Please?
[F] _ _ _
Alright, you kids get to bed, I'll get the storybook. _ _ _
_ _ You all tucked in?
Yeah.
Here we go.
[Fm] Once upon a time, not long ago, when people wore [D#m] pajamas and lived life slow,
[F] the laws were stern and justice stood, and people were behaving like they ought to good,
to live the little boy who was misled [C] by another little boy, and this is what he said.
[C] Me and you, Todd, we're gonna make some cash, rob an old [Fm] folks' grandma's, and let that happen.
They did the job, money came with ease, but one couldn't stop, it's like he had a disease,
[F] he robbed another and another, and my sister and her brother.
Tried to rob a man who was a DT undercover.
The cop grabbed his arm, he started [C] acting erratic, he said,
Keep still, boy, no [F] need for static.
Punched him in his belly and he gave him slap.
Little did he know, the little boy was strapped.
The kid pulled out a gun, he said,
Why'd you hit me?
The barrel set straight for the cop's kidney.
The cop got scared, the kid, he starts to figure,
I'll do years if I [Fm] pull this trigger.
So he cold-dashed and ran around the block, cop radios [F] into another lady, cop.
He ran by a tree, there he saw his sister.
Shot for the head, he shot back, but he missed her.
Looked around good and from expectations, he decided he'd hit from the subway stations, but
she was coming and he made a left.
He was running top speed, till he was out of breath.
Knocked an old man down and swore he killed him.
Then he made his move to an abandoned building, ran up the stairs up to the top floor,
opened up a door there, [Fm] guess who he saw?
Who?
Dave, the dope fiend, shooting dope.
Who don't know the [D#m] meaning of water nor [F] soap, he said.
I need bullets, hurry up, run.
The dope fiend brought back a spanking shotgun.
[Fm] He went outside where there was [C] cops all over, then he [F] dipped into a car, a [C] stolen Nova.
Raced up the block, flew in 83, crashed into a [C] tree near university.
[F] Escaped alive, though the car was battered.
Rat-a-tat [F#]-tat-tat and all the cops [F] battered.
Ran out of bullets and he still had static.
[C] Grabbed the pregnant lady and pulled out the [F] automatic.
Pointed at her [Cm] head, he said the gun was full of lead, he told the [F#] cops, back off, for honey, here's [F] Jack.
Deep in his heart, he knew he was wrong, so he let the lady go and he starts to run on.
Sirens sounded, he seemed to stand it and [F#] before long, the little boy got [Fm] surrounded.
He dropped his [F] gun, so went the glory, and this is the [F#] way I have to end this [F] story.
He was only one in a madman's dream.
The cops shot the [F#] kid, I still hear him [Fm] scream.
This ain't funny, so don't you dare laugh.
Just another case about [C] the wrong path.
Straight and narrow are your soldiers' paths.
[F#] Good night.
