Verse 1

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

Verse 2

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

Verse 3

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

Chorus

D MajorD              G+G
I don't care who's right or wrong
           D MajorD
i don't try to understand
           E MajorE
let the devil take tomorrow
            A augmentedA
Lord, tonight i need a friend.
