       - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -      G                                           C

1. Take the ribbon from your hair, shake it loose and let it fall,

                                               D   -  D7                                        G

    playing soft against your skin         like the shadows on the wall.

                                                                                           C

    Come and lay down by my side in the early morning light,

                                        D    -  D7                                                G  - G7   

    all I'm taking is your time,        help me make it through the night.

                                                     C                                     G

Well, I don't care if it's right or wrong, I don't try to understand,

                                  A                       A7                    D

let the devil take tomorrow, 'cause tonight I need a friend.

  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -    G                                           C

2. Yesterday is dead and gone, and tomorrow's out of sight,

                                    D    -  D7                                                 G

    and it's sad to be alone,        help me make it through the night.

          G - C - D - D7 - G - G7 

+ Instr.:                                             + CHORUS
 - - - - - - - - - - - - - -      G                                           C

    Yesterday is dead and gone, and tomorrow's out of sight,

                                     D    -  D7                                                G  -C-G

    and it`s sad to be alone,       help me make it through the night.
