[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] -- another ace 70's tab from Andrew Rogers
