  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.
