Help Me Make It Through The Night
Tuning: E A D G B E
C
Take the ribbon from your hair
C7 F Dm
shake it loose and let it fall
G F
layin' soft against my skin
G C
like the shadows on the wall
C
Come and lay down by my side
C7 F Dm
till the early morning light
G F
all I'm taking is your time
G C
help me make it through the night
C F G
I don't care who's right or wrong
C
I don't try to understand
D7
let the devil take tomorrow
G
Lord, tonight I need a friend
C
Yesterday is dead and gone
C7 F Dm
and tomorrow's out of sight
G7 F
and it's sad to be alone
G C
help me make it through the night
C G7 F
Lord, it's sad to be alone,
G C
help me make it through the night.

Take the ribbon from your hair
Shake it loose and let it fall
Layin' soft upon my skin
Like the shadows on the wall
Come and lay down by my side
Till the early mornin' light
All I'm takin' is your time
Help me make it through the night
I don't care who's right or wrong
I don't try to understand
Let the devil take tomorrow
'Cause tonight I need a friend
Yesterday is dead and gone
And tomorrow's out of sight
And it's sad to be alone
Help me make it through the night
I don't care who's right or wrong
I don't try to understand
Let the devil take tomorrow
For tonight I need a friend
Yesterday is dead and gone
And tomorrow's out of sight
And it's sad to be alone
Help me make it through the night
I don't want to be alone
Help me make it through the night
