Drift Away

Dobie Gray

Text File

"Drift Away" Dobie Gray Tuning--Standard (EADG) One of my favorite songs. Relaxing to play, relaxing to listen to. Extremely easy to too. Enjoy. NOTES--Keep the verses and the bridge in simple, single-note form. You can have more fun the chorus, because the accompaniment joins in more for that part, but this is mostly a piece, so bear that in mind as you're playing this. You can play a pickup note from the pitch when there's a chord change, but I wouldn't suggest adding much more than that. INTRO--I don't think this was in the original cut, but it goes well with the song. Use if you like.
