Help Me Make It Through the Night Lyrics

Help Me Make It Through The Night
CAPO III
INTRO (start off in a jazzy-bluesy waltz): A7
Take the ribbon from your hair
Shake it lose and let it fall
Lyin' soft against your skin
Like the shadows on the wall
N/C
(Hold it, hold it, I say hold it, son!
That ain't movin' me! Let's put a little fire in it!)
(three gunshots)
(shift into an upbeat bluegrass shuffle)
Take the ribbon from your hair (ripping sound) (Yeeeoooowww!)
Shake it lose and let it fall (thud, breaking glass)
Lyin' soft against your skin (slap) (ooh ooh ooh ooh!)
Like the shadows on the wall
N/C D
Come and lay here by my side (tree falling) (Timber!)
'Til the early mornin' light (cock-a-doodle-doo!) (gunshot) (ohhh!)
All I'm takin' is your time (ticking clock) (cookoo!)
Help me make it through the night (help me help me! ohhhhhhh!)
I don't know what's right or wrong (Order in the court!) (I'll have a cheeseburger!)
I don't try to understand (ibbity-ibbity-ibbity that's easy for you to say!)
Let that devil take tomorrow (mad cackling)
'Cause tonight I need a friend (drinking sounds, belch)
N/C D D7
Yesterday is dead and gone (Ashes to ashes)
And tomorrow's out of sight (far out dude)
And it's sad to be alone (oh I can't stand it! Ohhhh!)
Help me make it through the night (sirens)
Yes it's sad to be alone (Yes I can't stand it I can't stand it ohhh!)
N/C
(gunshot, thud)
(shift back to jazzy waltz)
Help me make it through the night
N/C
(drinking sounds, belch, whistle) (Hold it!) (Ohhh! Ohhh!)
(Gunshot, breaking glass, thud) (Well now I say, I say that's more like it!)
