Take the rib bon from your hair, Shake it loose and let it (G)fall, Lay in’ soft up on my (A7)skin. Like the shad ows on the (D)wall. Come and lay down by my side Till the ear ly morn in’ (G)light. All I’m tak in’ is your (A7)time. Like the shad ows on the (D)wall. Help me make it through the (D)night. I don’t care who’s right or (G)wrong, I don’t try to un der (D)stand. Let the dev il take to (E7)mor row. Lord, to night I need a (A7)friend. Help me make it through the (D)night.
