• Song:

    Driftwood

  • Artist:

    Moody Blues

I've seen him play it live a few times and this is definitly how he plays it. He hammers
his C's and F's. I have the patter at the bottom. Try playing it through first before u
the hammers, it helps. One of my favorite moody songs. enjoy. any questions drop me one.

%    Just like the driftwood of a dream, left on the seashore of sleep
     I don't remember what was said, in the confusion that night
     (instr.)...................................................

    C                                                                             F

     Just like the words that wouldn't rhyme, lost in the desert of time

       G                  Dm                 G

     Time waits for no-one at all, no not even you
     Time waits for no-one my love, no not even you

       G                       Dm
     You thought you'd seen it all before

     But darling, now I know you, life can never be the same
     I'm waking up, I'm reaching up, I'm getting up from this game

          G                          Dm     G               C
