1st Verse
---------

 E            B
Day after day I'm more confused

 E                      B
But I look for the light through the pourin' rain
 E                    B
You know, that's a game, that I hate to loose
 C#m             E
And I'm feelin' the strain, ain't it a shame


Chorus
------

 B
Give me the beat boys and free my soul
 F#                    E
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
 B
Give me the beat boys and free my soul
 F#                    E     D#5 C#5 B5 G#5 F#5 B  Riff 01
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away (won't you take me away)


2nd Verse
---------

 E                 B
Beginin' to think, that I'm wastin' time
 E                 B
And I don't understand the things I do
 E              B
The world outside looks so unkind
 C#m         E
I'm countin' on you, you can carry me through


Chorus
------

 B
Give me the beat boys and free my soul
 F#                    E
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
 B
Give me the beat boys and free my soul
 F#                    E     D#5 C#5 B5 G#5 F#5 B  Riff 01
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away (won't you take me away)


Bridge
------

 C#m
And when my mind is free
 E            B
You know your melody can move me
 C#m
And when I'm feelin' blue
 E              C#
The guitars comin' through to soothe me


3rd Verse
---------

 E               B
Thanks for the joy you've given me
 E                  B
I want you to know I believe in your song
 E               B
And rhythm, and rhyme, and harmony
 C#m         E
You helped me along, you're makin' me strong


Chorus
------

 B
Give me the beat boys and free my soul

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

I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
 B
Give me the beat boys and free my soul
 F#                    E     D#5 C#5 B5 G#5 F#5 B
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
 B
Give me the beat boys and free my soul
