Verse 1:

D                         A
Day after day I'm more confused
D                                            A
Yet I look for the light through the pouring rain
D                                     A
You know that's a game that I hate to lose
Bm                          D
And I'm feeling the strain, ah ain't it a shame


Chorus:

A
Give me the beat boys and free my soul
  E                                        D
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
A
Give me the beat boys and free my soul
  A                                        D
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
A
  Won't you take me away

Verse 2:

D                                   A
Beginning to think that I'm wasting time
D                               A
I don't understand the things I do
D                          A
The world outside looks so unkind
Bm                       D
And I'm counting on you, you can carry me through


Chorus:

A
Give me the beat boys and free my soul
  E                                        D
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
A
Give me the beat boys and free my soul
  A                                        D
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
A
  Won't you take me away

Bridge:

Bm
   And when my mind is free
D                          A
  You know a melody can move me
Bm
   When I'm feelin' blue
D                                E
  The guitar's coming through to soothe me


Verse 3:

D                                    A
Thanks for the joy that you've given me
D                                         A
I want you to know that I believe in your song
D                             A
And rhythm and rhyme and harmony
Bm                   D
You helped me along, oh, you're making me strong


Chorus:
~ Palm Mute ~

A
Give me the beat boys and free my soul
  E                                        D
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
A
Give me the beat boys and free my soul
  E                                        D
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
A
Give me the beat boys and free my soul
  E                                        D
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
A
Give me the beat boys and free my soul
  E                                        D
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away


Outro:

              A
Oh, won't you take me
              E
Oh, won't you take me
          D
I want to drift away, won't you take me away
                 A
I want to drift away
                 E
I want to drift away
        D
Take me home
              A                       E     D  
Let me drift away, won't you take me away
