[Verse 1]
   
Day after day 

I'm more confu

sed
     
So I look for 

the light in t

he pouring rai

n
      
You know that'

s a game that 

I hate to lose
     
I'm feelin' th

e strain, ain'

t it a shame

[Chorus]
      
Oh, give me th

e beat, boys, 

and free my so

ul
      
I wanna get lo

#
st in your roc

k and roll and

 drift away
      
Oh, give me th

e beat, boys, 

and free my so

ul
         
I wanna get lo

st in your roc

k and roll and

 drift away

[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

[Chorus]
      
Oh, give me th

e beat, boys, 

and free my so

ul
      
I wanna get lo

#
st in your roc

k and roll and

 drift away
      
Oh, give me th

e beat, boys, 

and free my so

ul
         
I wanna get lo

st in your roc

k and roll and

 drift away

[Bridge]
     
And when my mi

nd is free
      
You know a mel

ody can move m

e

And when I'm f

eelin' blue
       
The guitar's c

omin' through 

to soothe me
    
Thanks for the

 joy that you'

ve given me
         
I want you to 


know I believe

 in your song

Rhythm and rhy

me and harmony
 
You help me al

ong   makin' m

e strong
