[Verse 1]
F                            C
  Day after day I'm more confused 
F                    G                          C
  Yet I look for the light through the pourin' rain 
F                                       C
  You know that's a game that I hate to lose 
Dm
  And I'm feelin' the strain
F 
  Aw, ain't it a shame


[Chorus]
    C                         
Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul 
   G
I want to get lost in your rock and roll 
    F
And drift away 
    C                         
Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul 
   G
I want to get lost in your rock and roll 
    F          
And drift away 

[Post-Chorus]
C G F G C  G7 C
Won't you take me away-eh-ay-hey

[Verse 2]
F                                     C
  Beginnin' to think that I'm wasting time 
F                G               C
  I don't understand the things I do 
F                               C
  The world outside looks so unkind
Dm 
  And I'm counting on you 
F
  You can carry me through 


[Chorus 2]
    C
Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul 
  G
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll 
     F
And drift away 
C
Gimmie me the beat, boys, and free my soul 
  G
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll 
     F
And drift away

[Post-Chorus]

Won't you take me away-eh-ay-hey

[Bridge]
Dm
   And when my mind is free
F                         C 
    You know a melody can move me 
Dm
    When I'm feeling blue 
F                                    G
    The guitar's coming through to soothe me 


[Verse 3]
F                                      C
  Thanks for the joy that you're given me (Ooh, the joy that you've given me)
F                                           C
  I want you to know that I believe in your song  (oh yeah)
F                              C
  Rythm and rhyme and harmony
Dm 
    You helped me along 
F         
    Awww, you're makin' me strong 


[Chorus 3] (acappella)
       N.C.
Woah, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul 
  N.C.
I want to get lost in your rock and roll 
     N.C.
And drift away  (drift away)
C
Gimmie me the beat, boys, and free my soul 
  G
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll

I wanna drift away
                   C
Won't you take me away

Oh won't  you take me
               G
Oh won't  you take me
        F
Take me home
                   C
Won't you take me away
