Verse 1:
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/u/uncle_kracker/drift_away_tab.html ]
E B
Day after day I'm more confused
E B
Yet I look for the light though pouring rain
E B
You know that's a game that I hate to lose
C# E
And I'm feelin' the strain, aw, ain't it a shame
Chorus:
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
B
Give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
F# E
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
E B
Won't you take me away
Re intro 1x w Riff2
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 you can carry me through
[repeat chorus] Riff 3
[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 B
I want you to know that I believe in your song
E B
Rhythm and rhyme and harmony
C#m E
You help me along makin' me strong
