Ray chords by Rooftop Prophets

Verse 1:
G                              D
1994 things became clear in my high school
 C
Some kids would demise the old lunch rule
 Em           D
And Ray was the first one to break it, he was
G                                     D
Four litres attempting to run up till hundred
 C
as he sped through our neighborhood junkyard
 Em               D
burning tires and cheap gasoline he never bought


Bridge:
C                                                   G                D
But as he approached some road side construction he noticed a detail quite strange
D                                                        G      D
A semi was parked up tight in the middle and it was only forty feet away

Chorus:
G                               D
Faster than the speed of light, careless like a 12 inch knife
Em                                   C
given up like last years weather he surely seemed a little better
G                               D
Thicker than our prison walls, faker than our shopping malls,
Em                                   C                     D
braver than the brothers seven, now he’s driving them to heaven


Verse 2:
G                                         D
Back from lunchbreak, physics had already started,
 C
but the class seemed somewhat more quiet,
 Em          D
we all wandered whatever had happened to him
G                                                 D
At night I heard it, the newsbreak was clear and objective,
 C
said that speeding was reason pre-emptive,
 Em          D
that the impact was sudden and deadly, for him


Bridge:
C                                                   G                D
Knew him enough, knew he was restless, knew he never gave a damn
D                                                        G       D
Some people out there just can't learn, seems to me that Ray was one of them


Chorus:
G                               D
Faster than the speed of light, careless like a 12 inch knife
Em                                   C
given up like last years weather he surely seemed a little better
G                               D
Thicker than our prison walls, faker than our shopping malls,
Em                                   C                     D
braver than the brothers seven, now he’s driving them to heaven

Solo:

Chorus:
G                               D
Faster than the speed of light, careless like a 12 inch knife
Em                                   C
given up like last years weather he surely seemed a little better
G                               D
Thicker than our prison walls, faker than our shopping malls,
Em                                   C                     D
braver than the brothers seven, now he’s driving them to heaven
