"Driftwood" – by The Moody Blues
Tabbed by Roj Vincent
        D  G  D  G
Intro:              
 D
Just like the driftwood of a dream
              G           A
Left on the seashore of sleep
D
Just like the words that wouldn't rhyme
             G         A
Lost in the desert of time
                Em             A
Time waits for no one at all
No, not even you
                  Em                  A
You thought you'd seen it all before
You really thought you knew
D
I don't remember what was said
         G              A
In the confusion that night
D
I only know what's on my mind
               G               A
What's in the future we will decide
               G               A
Time waits for no one at all
No, not even you
                   G                    A
You thought you'd seen it all before
You really thought you knew
       G
I've shattered the illusion
    D              G
Of fortune and of fame
      D            G
But darling now I know you
            D            G
Life could never be the same
   A                      Em        A
Oh no... don't leave me driftwood
         D
On the shore
                     D G A EmD G A
Instrumental Break:              
               G               A
Time waits for no one my love
No, not even you
                   Em             Bm       A
You thought you'd seen it all before
You really thought you knew
      G
I've shattered the illusion
    D               G
Of fortunes and of fame
     D
I'm waking up
     G
I'm reaching up
     D                    G
I'm getting up from this game
    A                       Em         A
Oh Oh no... don't leave me driftwood
         D
On the shore
    G      A                    Em          A
Oh no... don't, don't leave me driftwood
        D
On the shore...
    A                      Em          A
Oh Oh no... don't leave me driftwood
        D
On the shore
          D   G   D   G   D   G
Outtro:                           repeat to fade
This version is a little simpler than the others but still fits nicely I think. Enjoy – RV  
