Help Me Make It Through The Night

[Intro] C7

                       F
Take the ribbon from your hair
                        A#
Shake it loose and let fall
                        C7
Layin soft against your skin
                         F
Like the shadows on the wall

Hold it, hold it, I say hold it, son!That ain't movin' me! Let's put a little fire in it!

"Three gunshots"

( F  C7 )

                          F
Take the ribbon from your hair
                         A#
Shake it lose and let it fall
                        C7
Lyin' soft against your skin
                        F
Like the shadows on the wall

                        F
Come and lay here by my side
                        A#
'Til the early mornin' light
                       C7
All I'm takin' is your time
                            F
Help me make it through the night

                             A#
I don't know what's right or wrong
                    F
I don't try to understand
                    G7
Let that devil take tomorrow
                        C
'Cause tonight I need a friend

                      F
Yesterday is dead and gone
                      A#
And tomorrow's out of sight
                   C7
And it's sad to be alone
                            F      C7   F
Help me make it through the night
                   A7
Yes it's sad to be alone

"Shift back to jazzy waltz"

                            A#    C7   A#   F
