Dobie Gray "Drift Away"

[Eireklb]

Drift Away
~Dobie Gray

Day after day I'm more confused
Yet I look for the light through the pouring rain
You know that's a game that I hate to lose
And I'm feeling the strain, ain't it a shame...

Oh, give me the beat, boys
And free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll
And drift away...

Oh, give me the beat, boys
And free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll
And drift away...

Beginning to think that I'm wasting time
I don't understand the things I do
The world outside looks so unkind
And I'm counting on you to carry me through...

Oh, give me the beat, boys
And free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll
And drift away...

And when my mind is free
No melody can move me
And when I'm feeling blue
Guitar comin' through to soothe me...

Oh, give me the beat, boys
And free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll
And drift away...

Take me, won't you take me....

There's some stuff missing here, although I
can't fill it all in.

Thanks for the ( ? ) that you're giving me
I want you to know I believe in your song
With ( ? ) and rhyme and harmony
(to help me along, keeping me strong?)

Here's my transcription:

Day after day I'm more confused,
Yet I look for the light through the pouring rain.
You know that's a game that I hate to lose,
And I'm feelin' the strain,
Ain't it a shame?

CHORUS:

Gimme the beat boys and free my soul,
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll,
And drift away.
Yeah, gimme the beat boys and free my soul,
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll,
And drift away.

CHORUS

Beginnin' to think that I'm wastin' time,
I don't understand the things I do,
The world outside looks so unkind,
So I countin' on you,
To carry me through.

CHORUS

Bridge:

And when my mind is free,
You know a melody can move me.
And when I'm feelin' blue,
The guitars comin' through to sooth me.

Thanks for the joy that you given me,
I want you to know I believe in your song,
Your rhythm and rhyme and harmony,
It helped me along,
You're makin' me strong.
