Ricky chords by Tania Moran
Verse 1
Am
F
Ricky Jr. from the day that he was born
Am
F
E
He was a genius, daddy's pride and joy
Am
F
But on a Saturday he'd watch
the other children play
Am
Beyond the window where
F
E
he studied late
Am
Dm
Why are you
E
making compensations
Am
for your life
Dm
E
With over -expectations
Am
Dm
of your child
E
Am
And holding back his dreams
F
Dm
E
of what he really wants to be?
Am
Did it ever occur to you
Dm
E
your baby has a voice?
Am
Did it ever occur to you
Dm
E
to let him make his choice?
Am
Heaviness is an elusive dream
Dm
until he really knows
E
Am
He has your love
F
Dm
E
Am
whichever path he goes
So long ago when Ricky's
F
daddy was a football star
Am
F
E
He thought he'd always have it all
Am
F
But in an instant every dream he had
was shattered
Am
when he crashed his car,
F
E
driving home from a ball.
Am
Dm
E
Why are you making compensations

for your life

of what he really wants to be.

Happiness is an elusive dream

He has your love,
Dm
E
Am
whichever path he goes
Dm
You've still got time to make
Am
amends for your mistakes
E
By giving Ricky back
Am
C
Dm
the freedom that you take
His life is not your own,
Am
just leave him room to grow
Dm
And he will love his world
E
more than he's ever known
Am
Did it ever occur to you
Dm
E
your baby has a voice?
