Verse 1:
E B
Day after day I'm more confused
E F# B
So I look for the light in the pouring rain
E B
You know that's a game that I hate to lose
C#m E
I'm feelin' the strain, ain't it a shame
Chorus:
B
Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
F#/A# E/G#
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
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
[repeat intro]
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
[repeat chorus]
[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 F# B
I want you to know I believe in your song
E B
Rhythm and rhyme and harmony
C#m E
You help me along makin' me strong
[repeat chorus to fade - acappella first couple times]
-- another ace 70's tab from Andrew Rogers
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official DOBIE GRAY tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
