[B] [F#] [F#] [B]
Day after day I'm more confused [F#m] Yet [E] I look for the light through the pouring [C#m] rain
[B] You [E] know [G#m] that's a game that I hate to lose [A] And I'm feeling the strain
[E] Ain't it a shame?
[B] Oh, give me the beat boys and free my [F#] soul I wanna get lost in your rock and [E] roll
And drift away
[B] Oh, give me the beat boys and free my [F#] soul I wanna get lost in your rock and roll
[E] And drift away
Beginning [B]
to think that I'm wasting time [C#m] [B] I don't understand the things I [C#m] do
[B] [C#m] [E] The world [B] outside looks so [G#m] unkind [C#m] And I'm counting on [E] you to carry me through
[B] Oh, give me the beat boys and free my [F#] soul I wanna get lost in your rock and [E] roll
And drift away
[B] Oh, give me the beat boys and free my [F#] soul I wanna get lost in your rock and roll
[E] And drift away
And [B]
[E] [B]
[C#m] when my mind is free [E] You know a melody [B] can move me
[C#m] And when I'm feeling [E] blue The guitar's coming [F#] through to soothe me
[E] Thanks for the joy that [D#] you've given me [C#] [B] I want you to [C#] know I [D#] believe in your song
[F#] [E] Rhythm and rhyme and [B] harmony [C#] You've helped me along
[E]
Making me strong
[B] Oh, give me the beat boys and free my [F#] soul I wanna get lost in your rock and [E] roll
And drift away
Give
[A] me the beat boys and free my [F#] soul I wanna get [B] lost in your rock and [E] roll
And drift away
Oh, [B] give me the beat boys and free my [F#] soul I wanna get lost in your rock and [E] roll
And drift away
Oh, [B] give me the beat boys and free my [F#] soul I wanna get lost in your rock and [E] roll
And drift away
Now, now, [E] now won't you, [B] won't you take me
Oh, [F#] take me
