[Bb] [Eb] [Bb] [Bb] [Eb] [Eb]
[Bb] [Eb] [Bb] [Bb] [Eb] [Bb]
[Eb] Day after day [Bb] I'm more confused
[Eb] But [F] I look for the light through [Bb] the pouring rain
[Eb] You know that's a game [Bb] I hate to lose
[C] I'm feeling the [Eb] strain
Now ain't that a shame?
[Bb] Give me the beat boys, free [F] my soul
I wanna get lost in the rock and [Eb] roll and drift away
[Bb] Give me the beat boys, free [F] my soul
I wanna get lost in the rock [Eb] and roll and drift away
[Bb] [Eb] [Bb] Beginning [Bb] [Eb] [Bb]
[Eb] to think I'm wasting [Bb] time
[Eb] Cause I can't [F] [Bb] understand a thing I do
[Eb] The world outside looks so [Bb] unkind
[C] Now it's up to [Eb] you to carry me [Bb] through
Give me the beat boys, free my [F] soul
I wanna get lost in the rock and roll [Eb] and drift away
[Bb] Give me the beat boys, free my [F] soul
I wanna get lost in the rock and roll [Eb] and drift away
[Bb] But [Bb] [Eb] [Bb] [Eb] [Bb]
[Eb] [Cm] when my mind is [Eb] free
You know a melody [Bb] can move me
And [Cm] when I'm feeling [Eb] blue
The guitar's coming through [F] to soothe me
[Eb] Oh, thanks for the joy [Bb] you've given me
[Eb] I [F] want you to know [Bb] I believe in soul
[Eb] Rhythm, rhyme [Bb] and harmony
[C] They've helped me [Eb] along
They're making me [Bb] strong
Give me the beat boys, free [F] my soul
I wanta get lost in the rock [Eb] and roll and drift away
[Fm] [Eb]
[Bb] Give me the beat boys, free my [F] soul
I wanna get lost in the rock and [Eb] roll and drift away
Give
[Bb] me the beat boys, free [F] my soul
I wanna get lost in the rock and [Eb] roll and drift away
[Bb] Give me the beat, heart, free my [F] soul I wanna get lost in the rock and [Eb] roll and drift away
[Bb] Give me the beat, heart, free my [F] soul I wanna get lost in the rock and [Eb] roll and drift away
[Bb] Give me the beat, heart, free my [F] soul I wanna get lost in the rock and roll [Eb] and drift away
[Bbm] Give [Bb] me the beat, heart, free my [F] soul
