Lyrics

Take the (CN.C.)rib bon from your (C)hair.

Shake it loose and let it (F)fall,

lay in’ soft up on my (G)skin,

like the shad ows on the (C)wall.

Come and lay down by my (C)side

till the ear ly morn in’ (F)light.

All I’m tak in’ is your (G)time.

Help me make it through the (C)wall.

Come and lay down by my (C)night.

I don’t (F)care who’s right or wrong,

I don’t try to un der (C)stand.

Let the dev il take to (D)mor row;

Lord, to night I need a (G)friend.

(CN.C.)Yes ter day is dead and

Help me make it through the (C)night.
