NOTE:
If you aren't playing with a bass, the downward progressions sound best as A/C# Bm A 
E/G# A, but with a bass, they are actually closer to A E7 A E7 A.

A/C# Bm A E/G# A

[VERSE 1]
          A
My sweet Lord
E7      A
Desperately
       A
I am alone
      D       A
And afraid to be
            A
My love is gone
E7      A
So far away
          A/C#   Bm     A E/G# A
I need my sweet Lord's help today

[CHORUS]
          D     A    D   A
Let your love shine down on me
      D    A   D  A
And light the way to be
         E7                         D
Oh, and these are the words that I pray
          A/C#   Bm     A E/G# A
I need my sweet Lord's help today

[VERSE 2]
Blind is the fool
I see that now
I broke the rules
And let you down
I've walked alone
Now I have run dry
I need my sweet Lord's help tonight

[CHORUS]
Let your love shine down on me
And light the way to be
Let your love shine down on me
Oh, and these are the words that I pray
I need my sweet Lord's help today
