G D G Em (Em7)
Now if you think Ray blew it, there was nothing to it.
C (Em) Am (Am7) Dsus4/2
They patched him up as good as new.
G D G Em
You can see him every day riding down the queen's highway,
C Am D
handing out his small cigars to the kids from school.
G D G Em
And all the little girls with their bleached blond curls
C Am D
clump up on their platform soles.
G D G Em
And they say ``Hey Ray --- let's ride away
C Am D
downtown where we can roll some alley bowls.''
F Am Bb F# B
And Ray grins from ear to here, and whispers...
E...............
E E7 D F#m
So follow me. Trail along.
A E
my leather jacket's buttoned up.
Bm F#m
And my four-stroke song
E E7 A
will pick you up when your last class ends
E E7 A F
and you can tell all your friends:
C G D F
The Pied Piper pulled you,
C G D F
The mad biker fooled you,
C G D
I'll do what you want to:
F C G
If you ride with me on a Friday
C E
anything goes.
E E7 D F#m
So follow me, hold on tight.
A E Bm
My school girl fancy's flowing in free flight.
F#m E E7 A
I've a tenner in my skin tight jeans.
E E7 A F
You can touch it if your hands are clean.
C G D F
The Pied Piper pulled you,
C G D F
The mad biker fooled you,
C G D
I'll do what you want to:
F C G
If you ride with me on a Friday
C E
anything goes.
