NOTE:
If you aren t playing with a bass, the downward progressions sound best as A/C# Bm A
E/G# A, but with a bass, they are actually closer to A E7 A E7 A.
Capo 2
[INTRO]
[VERSE 1]
My sweet Lord
Desperately
I am alone
And afraid to be
My love is gone
So far away
I need my sweet Lord s help today
[CHORUS]
Let your love shine down on me
And light the way to be
Oh, and these are the words that I pray
I need my sweet Lord s help today
[VERSE 2]
Blind is the fool
I see that now
I broke the rules
And let you down
I ve walked alone
Now I have run dry
I need my sweet Lord s help tonight
[CHORUS]
Let your love shine down on me
And light the way to be
Let your love shine down on me
Oh, and these are the words that I pray
I need my sweet Lord s help today
[OUTRO]
I need my sweet Lord s help today (x3)
