Verse 1

D(mute)                     D
Take the ribbon from your hair
                          G
shake it loose and let it fall
                      A 
layin` soft upon my skin
                          D 
like the shadows on the wall.


Verse 2

D(mute)                   D
Come and lay down by my side
                         G
`till the early morning light
                         A 
all i`m taking is your time
                             D
help me make it through the night.


Verse 3

D(mute)                D
Yesterday is dead and gone
                       G  
and tomorrow`s out of sight
                     A
and it`s sad to be alone
                             D
help me make it through the night.


Chorus

D                            G
I don`t care who`s right or wrong
                     D
i don`t try to understand
                     E
let the devil take tomorrow
                        A
Lord, tonight i need a friend.
