Verse 1
[E] [B]
Day after day I'm more confused
[E] [F#] [B]
So I look for the light in the pouring rain
[E] [B]
You know that's a game that I hate to lose
[C#m] [E]
I'm feelin' the strain, ain't it a shame
Chorus
[B]
Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
[F#]/[A#] [E/G#]
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
[B]
Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
[F#] [E]
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away

Verse 2
[E] [B]
Beginning to think that I'm wastin' time
[E] [F#] [B]
I don't understand the things I do
[E] [B]
The world outside looks so unkind
[C#m] [E]
I'm countin' on you to carry me through
Chorus
[B]
Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
[F#]/[A#] [E/G#]
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
[B]
Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
[F#] [E]
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away

Bridge
[C#m]
And when my mind is free
[E] [B]
You know a melody can move me
[C#m]
And when I'm feelin' blue
[E] [F#]
The guitar's comin' through to soothe me
[E] [B]
Thanks for the joy that you've given me
[E] [F#] [B]
I want you to know I believe in your song
[E] [B]
Rhythm and rhyme and harmony
[C#m] [E]
You help me along makin' me strong
(Repeat chorus to fade - a cappella first couple times)
