HANGING OUT WITH RAY
As Appearing on the album Karma Covered Apple

Transcription by Mark Ord (ord@alphalink.com.au)

Notes: * In verses, strum and then arpegiate both the D and the following E
         chords.
       * Not sure what position the band play the main riff. I go for
         open (as shown) by preference.
       * C#5 -could- be off, but it's a definate C#-ish chord.
       * D4 - D5 passages are palm muted.
       * I'm stuck on the Pre-Chorus chords. (HELP! :-) )

INTRO (Intro Fig. x 2)

VERSE 1.
    A                                         D
The prettiest girls in town all hang out with Ray
          E                 F#5
When they heard that he was gay
              B5                   A5
It's not even true. He goes either way
                     E5                     F#5
On both sides of the fence, with such great fashion sense
        D4                 D5      D4                D5          
Makes a meal of things you say. He says things taste better that way
B5               C#5    D4                 D5
He's just out of ordinary and then there's Ray
B5              C#5        D4           D5    D4                      D5 
His friends are sorta scary, but that's okay. As long as they're with Ray.

PRE CHORUS
I have assessed the situation but I don't know what to say
I'm gonna say that he's a source of inspiration
And I'm gonna sing this song
