Intro Riff 
 
  
 
G                                          D 
 
    Day after day I'm more confused 
 
G                                                        D 
 
     So I look for the light in the pouring rain 
 
G                                                           D 
 
     You know that's a game that I hate to lose 
 
Em                               G 
 
       I'm feelin' the strain, ain't it a shame 
 
  
 
Chorus: 
 
       D 
 
Oh, give me the beat, boys, to soothe my soul 
 
    A                                                        G 
 
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away 
 
        D 
 
Oh, give me the beat, boys, to soothe my soul 
 
   A                                                          G 
 
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away

1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +  
 
  
 
G                                                    D 
 
   Beginning to think that I'm wastin' time 
 
G                                                 D 
 
   I don't understand the things I do 
 
G                                              D 
 
    The world outside looks so unkind 
 
Em                               G 
 
      I'm countin' on you   to carry me through 
 
  
 
Chorus

G     G/F#  Em    A     G   G/F# 
 
D   D U   U D   D U   U B   B 
 
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 
 
  
 
Em 
 
And when my mind is free 
 
G                                    D 
 
You know a melody can move me 
 
Em 
 
     And when I'm feelin' blue 
 
G                                                A 
 
    The guitar's comin' through to soothe me 
 
G                                                           D 
 
     Thanks for the joy that you've given me 
 
G                                                          D 
 
     I want you to know I believe in your song 
 
G                                                 D 
 
     Rhythm and rhyme and harmony 
 
Em                             G 
 
      You help me along   makin' me strong 
 
  
 
End Chorus (repeat 4x) 
 
       D 
 
Oh, give me the beat, boys, to soothe my soul 
 
    A                                                        G (x2) 
 
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away 
 
  
 
End on D
