Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Take the  ribbon  from  your  hair
 Shake it loose  and let  it fall
 Playing soft against your skin
Like  the shadows on the wall
Come and lay  down  by  my  side
Till  the early  morning light
 All I'm  taking is your time
 aA7
 Help me make it through the night
I  don't care  if it's right or wrong
 I don't  try to  understand
Let  the devil take  tomorrow
'cause  tonight I need a friend
 aA7
 Yesterday is dead and gone
 And tomorrow's out  of sight
 And its so sad  to be alone
Help  me make it through the night
Yes ter day  is dead and gone
 And tomorrow's out  of sight
I  don't wanna  be alone
Help  me make  it through the night
I  don't wanna  be alone
Help  me make  it through the night
 
 Most 's  alt. between xx0232, xx0230, xx0212, xx0233, xx0235, xx0213
   aA7
 Most A's alt. between 002220, 002020, 002223, 002200, 002222
 Most G's alt. between 320003,  320005,  320000
 I couldn't put all the expressives in but it should still sing pretty well.
