Verse 1:


        D[E]ay after day I'm more confu[B]sed


        [E]So I look for the [F#]light in the pouring r[B]ain


        [E]You know that's a game that I hate to l[B]ose


        [C#m]I'm feelin' the strain, a[E]in't it a shame


Chorus:


        Oh, g[B]ive me the beat, boys, and free my soul


        I [F#/A#]wanna get lost in your rock and roll and d[E/G#]rift away


        Oh, g[B]ive me the beat, boys, and free my soul


        I [F#]wanna get lost in your rock and roll and d[E]rift away


        (repeat intro)


Verse 2:


        Beginning to think that I'm wastin' time


        I don't understand the things I do


        The world outside looks so unkind


        I'm countin' on you   to carry me through


        (repeat chorus)


        (repeat intro)


Bridge:


        [C#m]And when my mind is free


        [E]You know a melody can m[B]ove me


        [C#m]And when I'm feelin' blue


        [E]The guitar's comin' through to s[F#]oothe me


        [E]Thanks for the joy that you've given [B]me


        [E]I want you to [F#]know I believe in your s[B]ong


        [E]Rhythm and rhyme and harm[B]ony


        [C#m]You help me along   m[E]akin' me strong


        (repeat chorus to fade - acappella first couple times)
