Bill Withers

[C] Day after day I'm more con-[G]-fused

So I [C] look for the light in the pouring [G] rain

[C] You know that's a game that I hate to [G] lose

I'm [Am] feelin' the strain, [C] ain't it a shame

Oh, [G] give me the beat, boys, and free my soul

I [D] wanna get lost in your rock and roll and [C] drift away

Oh, [G] give me the beat, boys, and free my soul

I [D] wanna get lost in your rock and roll and [C] drift away

[C] Beginning to think that I'm wastin' [G] time

I [C] don't understand the things I [G] do

[C] The world outside looks so un-[G]-kind

[Am] I'm countin' on you [C] to carry me through

Oh, [G] give me the beat, boys, and free my soul

I [D] wanna get lost in your rock and roll and [C] drift away

Oh, [G] give me the beat, boys, and free my soul

I [D] wanna get lost in your rock and roll and [C] drift away

[Am] And when my mind is free

[C] You know a melody can [G] move me

[Am] And when I'm feelin' blue

[C] The guitar's comin' through to [D] soothe me

[C] Thanks for the joy that you've given [G] me

[C] I want you to know I believe in your [G] song

[C] Rhythm and rhyme and harmo-[G]-ny

[Am] You help me along [C] makin' me strong

Oh, [G] give me the beat, boys, and free my soul

I [D] wanna get lost in your rock and roll and [C] drift away

Oh, [G] give me the beat, boys, and free my soul

I [D] wanna get lost in your rock and roll and [C] drift away
