NOTE: In the lines "Shake it loose..." and "And tomorrow's outta sight" I do not
hear a C7.  I know every other version of this song, in this key, has a C7 in those
spots, but I don't hear it (maybe just the notes they're picking).   If you think I'm
wrong, let me know.

Take the ribbon from my hair
                       F
Shake it loose and let it fall
                         G7
Layin' soft against your skin
                        C    Csus4  C
Like the shadows on the wall
                        C     Csus4  C7
Come and lay down by my side
                     F
'Til the early mornin' light
                       G7
All I'm takin' is your time
                         C        C7
Help me make it thru the night

I don't care what's right or wrong
                        C
And I won't try to understand
                    D7
Let the devil take tomorrow
               G7
Lord tonight I need a friend
N/C                   C   Csus4 C
Yesterday is dead and gone
               F
And tomorrow's out of sight
                   G7
And it's sad to be alone
                C              Csus4  C
Help me make it thru the night

              C   Csus4  C7
Mmm mmmm mmmm mmmm
              F
Mmm mmmm mmmm mmmm
                   G7
And it's sad to be alone
                C              F  
Help me make it thru the night
                 G7
I don't wanna be alone
                C             
Help me make it thru the night
