F C
day after day i’m more confused
F
yet i look for the light
C
through the pourin’ rain
F C
you know that’s a game that i hate to lose
Am
and i’m feeling the strain
F
ain’t it a shame

chorus :

C
oh , give me the beat , boys , and free my soul
G
i want to get lost in your rock and roll
F
and drift away
[ repeat ]

same chords as first verse :

beginning to think that i’m wasting time
i don’t understand the things i do
the world outside looks so unkind
now i’m counting on you
to carry me through

same chords as first chorus :

oh , give me the beat , boys , and free my soul
i want to get lost in your rock and roll
and drift away
[ repeat ]

bridge :
F
and when my mind is free
G
you know a melody can move me
F
and when i’m feeling blue
G
the guitar’s coming through to soothe me
F C
thanks for the joy that you’re given me
F C
i want you to know i believe in your song
F C
your rythm and rhyme and harmony
Am
you’ve helped me along
F G
makin’ me strong

same chords as chorus :

oh , give me the beat , boys , and free my soul
i want to get lost in your rock and roll
and drift away
[ repeat ]
na , na , now won’t ya
won’t ya take , oh ha . . take me
