Take the ribbon from my hair, shake it loose

Come and lay down by my side, til the early mornin'
Db
light.
Db Eb
All I'm takin' is your time, help me make it
Ab
through the night.

Ab Db
I don't care what's right or wrong, I won't try
Ab
to understand.

Let the devil take tomorrow, Lord, tonight I need
Eb
a friend.
