Help Me Make It Through The Night by Kris Kristofferson

C........................C7
Take the ribbon from your hair
..............................F
shake it loose and let it fall
.......................G7
layin' soft against my skin
..........................C
like the shadows on the wall

C.........................C7
Come and lay down by my side
..........................F
till the early morning light
........................G7
all I'm taking is your time
............................C
help me make it through the night

C........G7..................F
I don't care who's right or wrong
.....................C
I don't try to understand
........G7...........D7
let the devil take tomorrow
.........................G7
Lord, tonight I need a friend

G7.....................C
Yesterday is dead and gone
....C7..................F
and tomorrow's out of sight
....................G7
and it's sad to be alone
............................ C
help me make it through the night

C......................G7
Lord, it's sad to be alone,
................................C
help me make it through the night.



And the version by Willie Nelson

...........................D
Take the ribbon from your hair
.............................G
shake it loose and let it fall
............................A....A7
playing soft against your skin
..........................D
like the shadows on the wall

.........................D
Come and lay down by my side
........................G
till the early morning light
.......................A......A7
all I'm taking is your time
............................D......G..D
help me make it through the night

..............................G
I don't care if it's right or wrong
......................D
I don't try to understand
........................E
let the devil take tomorrow
...................A
'cause tonight I need a friend

(continue same chord pattern)
Yesterday is dead and gone
and tomorrow's out of sight
and it's sad to be alone
help me make it through the night

Yesterday is dead and gone
and tomorrow's out of sight
I don't wanna be alone
help me make it through the night

................A
I don't wanna be alone
..............................G......D
help me make it through the night

Hope they sound right!
