VERSE 1:
[G#] Day after day I'm more con-
[D#]-fused
[G#] So I look for the
[A#] light in the pouring
[D#] rain
[G#] You know that's a game that I hate to
[D#] lose
[Fm] I'm feelin' the strain,
[G#] ain't it a shame
CHORUS:
Oh,
[D#] give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I
[A#] wanna get lost in your rock and roll and
[G#] drift away
Oh,
[D#] give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I
[A#] wanna get lost in your rock and roll and
[G#] drift away
REPEAT INTRO:
VERSE 2:
[G#] Beginning to think that I'm wastin'
[D#] time
[G#] I don't under-
[A#]-stand the things I
[D#] do
[G#] The world outside looks so un-
[D#]-kind
[Fm] I'm countin' on you,
[G#] to carry me through
REPEAT CHORUS:
REPEAT INTRO:
BRIDGE:
[Fm] And when my mind is free
[G#] You know a melody can
[D#] move me
[Fm] And when I'm feelin' blue
[G#] The guitar's comin' through to
[A#] soothe me
