[Intro]
G
(Riff)[Verse 1]
G Well, you can read out your Bible G You can fall down on your knees, pretty mama G And pray to the Lord G But it ain’t gonna do no good C You’re gonna need C G You’re gonna need my help someday (Riff) D Well, if you can’t quit your sinnin’ G G Please quit your low down ways (Riff)
[Verse 2]
G You can run down to the desert G You can stick your head in the sand G You can raise up your right hand G But your good man ain’t-a-comin’ home, you better understand C You’re gonna need C G You’re gonna need my help someday (someday gonna need my help, someday) D Well, if you can’t quit your sinnin’ G G Please quit your low down ways (Riff)
[Verse 3]
G Now, you can run down to the White House G You can gaze on the Capitol Dome G You can pound on the President’s gate, pretty mama G But you know it’s gonna be too late C You’re gonna need C G You’re gonna need my help someday (my help, someday) D Well, if you can’t quit your sinnin’ G G Please quit your low down ways (Riff)
[Verse 4]
G And you can hitchhike on the highway G You can stand all alone by the side of the road G Tryin’ to flag a ride back home, pretty mama G But you ain’t-a-gonna ride in my car no more C You’re gonna need C G You’re gonna need my help someday D Well, if you can’t quit your sinnin’ G G Please quit your low down ways (Riff)
[Verse 5]
G Oh, you can read out your hymn book G You can fall down on your knees and pray
To the Lord, pretty mama
G But it ain’t gonna do no good C You’re gonna need C G You’re gonna need my help someday (oh, wait and see) D If you can’t quit your sinnin’ G G G Please quit your low down ways (Riff)
