Metre is a fast 3/4. The notes are played with a triplety swing: have a listen to get it right!

WHOLE SONG:
INTRO:
I[Dadd2]'m drifting [E7]down
While you [Dadd2]scream past my [E7]head
F[Dadd2]ire away, [E7]fly away
I [Dadd2]wonder what you [E7]said
And [Dadd2]i'm watching [E7]you
Bare your [Dadd2]teeth in a [E7]growl
T[Dadd2]hrowing your w[E7]ay
Back and [Dadd2]forth 'til [E7]now
Dadd2 - - | E7 - - ||
And [B7]i'm here in o[D]blivion
I don't feel [A]anything
W[B7]hen, it's time to be[D]gin again
I won't r[A]emember [B7]anythi[D]ng at [(E7)]all
(Here the main pattern appears reversed, with the E7 before the Dadd2, not after)
(E7) - - | Dadd2 - - ||
[E7]Could it be s[Dadd2]omething [E7]that i [Dadd2]said
That's [E7]making you[Dadd2] put poison [E7]pins in my [Dadd2]bed
[E7]And i would feel [Dadd2]sorry [E7]if i [Dadd2]could
So [E7]fire away, [Dadd2]fly away, if [E7]you think you [Dadd2]should
[E7]I'm in o[Dadd2]blivion
[E7]I'm in o[Dadd2]blivion
[E7]I'm in o[Dadd2]blivion
[Dadd2]'blivion, [Dadd2]'blivion, [E]i'm...

Hope you enjoy! It's a lot of fun to play and sing.
