Lyrics

Day af ter day I’m more con (F)fused;

I look for the light in the pour ing (F)rain.

You know that’s a game that I hate to (F)lose.

I’m feel in’ the strain;

ain’t it a shame?

Oh, (F)give me the beat, boys, to soothe my soul; I (C)wan na get lost in your rock and roll and (Bb)drift a way.

(F)Give me the beat, boys, to soothe my soul; I (C)wan na get lost in your rock and roll and (Bb)drift a way.

Day af ter day I’m more con (F)fused;

I look for the light in the pour ing (F)rain.

You know that’s a game that I hate to (F)lose.

I’m feel in’ the strain;

ain’t it a shame?

Oh, (F)give me the beat, boys, to soothe my soul; I (C)wan na get lost in your rock and roll and (Bb)drift a way.

(F)Give me the beat, boys, to soothe my soul; I (C)wan na get lost in your rock and roll and (Bb)drift a way.

And when my mind is free

no mel o dy can (F)move me.

When I’m feel in’ blue

gui tars are com in’ through to (C)soothe me.

strong.

(F)Give me the beat, boys, to soothe my soul; I (C)wan na get lost in your rock and roll and (Bb)drift a way.

(F)Give me the beat, boys, to soothe my soul; I (C)wan na get lost in your rock and roll and (Bb)drift a way.
