[D#] Day after day I'm more con-

[D#] So I look for the
[F] light in the pouring

[Cm] I'm feelin' the strain,
[D#] ain't it a shame
CHORUS:
Oh,
[A#] give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I
[F] wanna get lost in your rock and roll and
[D#] drift away
Oh,

[A#]-kind
[Cm] I'm countin' on you,
[D#] to carry me through

REPEAT INTRO:
BRIDGE:
[Cm] And when my mind is free
[D#] You know a melody can

[Cm] And when I'm feelin' blue
[D#] The guitar's comin' through to
[F] soothe me

[D#] Thanks for the joy that you've given
[A#] me
[D#] I want you to

[A#]-y
[Cm] You help me along
[D#] makin' me strong
