Capo 2nd 
 
Intro A5 
 
N.C.                      A5 
Take the ribbon from your hair,  
                          D5 
shake it loose and let it fall, 
                    E5 
Layin? soft upon my skin.  
                        A5 
like the shadows on the wall. 
 

N.C.                    A5 
Come and lay down by my side  
                       D5 
till the early morning light 
                       E5 
All I?m takin? is your time.  
                            A5 
help me make it through the night. 
                             D5 
I don?t care what?s right or wrong,  
                    A5 
I don?t try to understand. 
                        B5 
Let the devil take tomorrow.  
                       E5 
Lord, tonight I need a friend. 
N.C.                    A5 
Yesterday is dead and gone  
                      D5 
and tomorrow?s out of sight 
                   E5   
And it?s sad to be alone.  
                            A5 
Help me make it through the night.

Help me make it through the night.
