Chords for Tom Rush in Dallas, Texas ~ "Drift Away"

[Bb] And, uh, [B] all we got was this big [F] collection.

Toby Gray didn't write the songs.
He wrote [B] it by a guy named Mentor [F] Williams.
_ _ And I ran into him at the Nashville airport a few years ago.
We [Bb] chatted for a few minutes.
He was a nice guy. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [B] I remember wondering at the time, when he wrote the song,
sitting on the kitchen table, wondering, whatever [D] it might be,
did he really go out? _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ I don't know.
Soon as he went, he just got drifted away. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

[G] And when [Gm] my mind is [Bb] free, _
_ _ No melody [F] can move me. _ _ _ _
[G] And when I'm feeling [F] blue,
_ [Bb] _
The guitar's coming [F] through to [C] soothe me.
_ _ _ _ [Bb] Soothe me.
_ _ _ _ _ I want to thank you for the joy that you give.
[F] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
