Driftwood (Moody Blues)
D / / / G / / /
[ ] x2
D G A
% Just like the driftwood of a dream, left on the seashore of sleep
I don't remember what was said, in the confusion that night
(instr.)...................................................
D G A
Just like the words that wouldn't rhyme, lost in the desert of time
I only know what's on my mind, what's in the future we will decide
(instr.)..........................................................
Em A
Time waits for no-one at all, no not even you
Time waits for no-one at all, no not even you
Time waits for no-one my love, no not even you
Em
You thought you'd seen it all before
A
You really thought you knew (1)Go %(2)
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
I'm waking up, I'm reaching up, I'm getting up from this game
A Em A D
Oh no, don't leave me driftwood on the shore (1)Go %(3)
G A Em A D
Oh no don't, don't leave me driftwood on the shore
G A Em A D
Oh oh oh no, don't leave me driftwood on the shore
D / / / G / / /

| This song is about a break-up I think and the after-effects on the soul. The driftwood metaphor may be one of the most inspired images I've ever heard about. The Moody Blues, classic band. | |
