  Riff 7: solo 2


Driftaway by Motley Crue

Riff 1:
C                 C/B
Look inside the mirror
        Am7              C/G
But I don't know who I see
C                  C/B
Smoke another cigarrete
       Am7                 C/G
A smile rolls back the tears

Riff 2:
C                       C/B
This contradiction seems to be
      Am7           D/F#
The story of my life

Riff 3:
  F                G
A simple man with memories of
      C          C/B       Am7     C/G
Those long lost golden days
   F                G                C
I close my eyes and slowly drift away

Riff 4:  Solo 1

Riff 1:
   C
Mistakes I've made
       C/B          Am7
Remind me of the roads
                  C/B
I shouldn't choose
C                  C/B
Never comes that easy when
            Am7            C/B
There's nothing left to lose

Riff 2:
C             C/B
I cant see answers tell me
   Am7            D/F#
Why am I so blind?
F                 G
A tired man, I'll make the best
     C      C/B      Am7      C/B
Of another lonley day
  F                 G
I close my eyes and slowly drift away

Riff 5: Bridge to solo
F                     Fm
Never thought I'd make it
           C
Just by playing my guitar
F
Just a little smile always
Fm                   C
Shelters me from pain
F                 G
Every time I start to slide
 C         C/B     Am7      C/G
I wish upon a star
    D7
The sun comes up
                          G    C/E   G
And dries up all the rain

Riff 6:  12 string solo

Riff 7:  solo 2

Riff 3:
F                        G
I'm an honest man who refuses
            C       C/B       Am7    C/G
Shade on a hot and lonely day
F                    G                C   C/B  Am7  C/G
I close my eyes and dream my life away
F                 G                C  C/B  Am7  C/G
Now I know that I can stop the rain
F                    G             C  C/B  Am7  C/G
Close my eyes and slowly drift away
F                    G             C  C/B  Am7  C/G
Close my eyes and dream my life away

F                     G             C  C/B  Am7  C/G
Close my eyes and slowly drift away
F               G               C
Close my eyes dream my life away.
