Intro:
| A E | D E A   | D E  Asus4 A  |


Verse:
D                           A
  Day after day I'm more confused
D                   E
 Yet I look for the light
                    A
Through the pourin' rain
D                                       A
  You know that's a game that I hate to lose
Bm
 And I'm feeling the pain
D
  Taking the strain


Chorus:
   A
So give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
  E
I want to get lost in your rock and roll
    D
And drift away
   A
So give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
  E
I want to get lost in your rock and roll
    D
And drift away


Interlude:
| D/A | D/A E/A A   | D E  Asus4 A  |


Verse:
D                                     A
  Beginning to think that I'm wasting time
D             E                  A
 I don't understand the things I do
D                              A
  The world outside is so unkind
Bm
  I'm counting on you
D
  To carry me through


Chorus:
   A
So give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
  E
I want to get lost in your rock and roll
    D
And drift away
   A
So give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
  E
I want to get lost in your rock and roll
    D
And drift away


Interlude:
| D/A | D/A E/A A   | D E  Asus4 A  |


Middle 8:
Bm
   And when my mind is free
D                       A
  You know a melody can move me
Bm
   And when I'm feeling blue
D                                 E
  The guitars coming through will soothe me


Verse:
D                                      A
  Thanks for the joy that you're given me
D              E                      A     A7
 I want you to know I believe in your song
D                                A
  Your rhythm and rhyme and harmony
Bm
  You carried me on
D
  Keepin’  me strong


Chorus: (bass and drums only)
   A
So give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
  E
I want to get lost in your rock and roll
    D
And drift away
   A
So give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
  E
I want to get lost in your rock and roll
    D
And drift away


Chorus:
   A
So give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
  E
I want to get lost in your rock and roll
    D
And drift away
   A
So give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
  E
I want to get lost in your rock and roll
    D
And drift away
