[VERSE 1]
                                     C
I don't believe in miracles, if it's all the same by you
     D                 C                G
Your wishes would come true if I had my say
Em                    G
Whether it's right or wrong
    C              D
The words of every song
  C            G
Remind us of a love we knew
      Am7                Bb        Am7          D   G
Where love should not go wrong, in yesterdays


[CHORUS]
           Am       G
Hang on ye drifters now
        C          D      Em     D    G
You got so much to go and gamble on
                  Am       G
Watch out for the shifting sand
    C            D  G    C/G  G  C/G  G
Wherever you may ramble


[VERSE 2]
                                 C
Even now, as I look back and see all that's come to pass
  D              C                G      Em
I can't remember how it was I got here
                 G
Look around this place
          C              D
There's a smile on every face
      C                G
We're somewhere in the afterglow
    Am7             Bb         Am7             D      G
Out there among the stars, out there among the bars


[CHORUS]
           Am       G
Hang on ye drifters now
        C         D      Em        D     G
You got places to go and people to meet
                  Am       G
Watch out for the shifting tide
    C            D  G    C/G  G  C/G  G
Wherever you may travel


[VERSE 3]
                                      C
I know I should not complain, because life's been good to me
   D                  C                 G
It feels real good to be stranded on my own
Em                G
Be that as it may be
C              D
We are what we are
     C               G
I'll find you at the afterglow
    Am7             Bb       Am7         D   G
Out there among the stars of yesteryear


[CHORUS]
           Am       G
Hang on ye drifters now
        C          D      Em     D    G
You got so much to go and gamble on
                  Am       G
Watch out for the shifting sand
    C            D  G    C/G  G  C/G  G
Wherever you may ramble


[CHORUS]
        Am       G
All you drifters now
        C         D      Em        D     G
You got places to go and people to meet
                  Am       G
Watch out for the shifting tide
    C            D  G    C/G  G
Wherever you may ramble
