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

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.
