Abmaj7 F#maj7 C#
I'm just drift—wood
Ab
Drifting with the winds that blow across the sky
Eb7
I can't always be here with you, babe
Bbm Ab
I'm just driftwood drifting by
Ab
Our lives came together,
Eb7 Bbm Ab
Somehow we came to mingle for a while
Like two colors of the rainbow
Eb7 Bbm Ab
We blended well together for a while
Ab
But I won't ever anchor down
C# Ab
The Lord above has numbered all my days
I'm just driftwood
Eb7 Bbm Ab
And I think it's time I drifted on away
I'm just driftwood...
