Verse 1:
         E                          B
        Day after day I'm more confused
        E                 F#                    B
        So I look for the light in the pouring rain
        E                                      B
        You know that's a game that I hate to lose
        C#m                      E
        I'm feelin' the strain, ain't it a shame

Chorus:
             B                 
        Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
          F#/A#                                     E/G#
        I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
             B                 
        Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
          F#                                        E
        I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift 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                      B
        You know a melody can move me
        C#m
        And when I'm feelin' blue
        E                               F#
        The guitar's comin' through to soothe me
        E                                    B
        Thanks for the joy that you've given me
        E             F#                      B
        I want you to know I believe in your song
        E                        B
        Rhythm and rhyme and harmony
        C#m                  E
        You help me along   makin' me strong

        [repeat chorus to fade - acappella first couple times]
