[B] [E] [B] [F#] [B]
Day after day I'm more confused [C#]
[B] Yet [E] I look for [D#m] the light through the pouring [B] rain
You [E] know that's a game that I [B] hate to lose [C#m] And [C#m] I'm feeling strange
[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 [E] roll
And drift away
[B] [B]
[E] Beginning to [C#m] think that I'm [B] wasting time
I [E] [F#] don't understand the [B] things I do
[E] The world outside looks [B] so unkind
[C#m] So I'm counting on you [E] to carry me through
[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
Give [B] me the beat boys and free my soul [F#] 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 [D#m] through to soothe me
[E] Thanks for the joy that you've [B] given me
[E] I want you to [C#m] know I [B] believe in your song
[E] Your rhythm and rhyme and [B] harmony
[C#m] You've helped me along
[E] You're making me strong
[B] Oh, give me the beat boys and free [F#] my soul I wanna get lost in your rock and [E] roll
And drift away
[B] Give me the beat boys and free my [F#] soul I wanna get lost in your rock and [E] roll
And drift away
Give [B] me the beat boys and free my [F#] soul I wanna get lost in your rock and [E] roll
And drift away
Give
[B] me the beat boys and free my [F#] soul I wanna get lost in your rock and [E] roll
I'm drifting away
No, no, [B] no, won't you take me?
Oh, [F#] won't you take me?
[E]
[G#m] [B] [F#]
[E] [G#m]
[B] [F#]
[E]
[B] [F#]
[E] Oh, God
Oh, yeah, I'm gonna
[B] take you there, man
[F#] [E] [C#m]
