Song: Driftwood
By:   The Moody Blues

[intro:]  |D   |   |G   |    |
          |D   |   |G   |    |

[verse: 1]
D                                   |D               |G        |A      |
 Just like the driftwood of a dream,   left on the seashore of sleep
D                                  |D                 |G        |A     |
 Just like the words that wouldn't rhyme, lost in the desert of time

A                  |Em             |A            |
  Time waits for no-one at all, no not even you
A                     |Em                |
  You thought you'd seen it all before
A                             |A         |
  You really thought you knew  

[verse: 2]
D                          |D               |G         |A         |
 I don't remember what was said, in the confusion that night
D                         |D                  |G             |A      |
 I only know what's on my mind, what's in the future we will decide

[pre-chorus:]
A                  |Em             |A             |
  Time waits for no-one at all, no not even you
A                     |Em               |
  You thought you'd seen it all before
A                             |A           
  You really thought you knew  
 
[bridge:]     
     |Bb           |Gm         |Dm            |Gm
I've shattered the illusion of fortune and of fame
    |D             |G                 |D           |G
But darling, now I know you, life can never be the same

[chorus:] 
  |A                     |Em    A      |D      |D 
Oh no, don't leave me driftwood on the shore             


[verse: 3]    {solo guitar}
|D                        |D               |G         |A
|D                        |D               |G         |A

[pre-chorus:]
|A                  |Em             |A
   Time waits for no-one at all, no not even you
|A                     |Em
   You thought you'd seen it all before
|A                             |A   
   You really thought you knew  

[bridge:] 
     |Bb           |Gm         |Dm            |Gm
I've shattered the illusion of fortune and of fame
    |D             |G                 |D           |G
I'm waking up, I'm reaching up, I'm getting up from this game

chorus:]
  |A                     |Em    A      |D      |G
Oh no, don't leave me driftwood on the shore  
  |A                     |Em    A      |D      |G
Oh no, don't leave me driftwood on the shore 
  |A                     |Em    A      |D      |D 
Oh no, don't leave me driftwood on the shore
