Verse 1FAm
Watch my hand, see it shakes
Dm7A
Trembling as my life blood bleeds
FAm
Comfortless super-fakes
Dm7A
Offering their empty creeds
D/AA
That have no faith or substance
D/AA
That change to suit the doubter
D/AA
To satisfy his needs
ChorusDDbm
Rid me of your darkness
BmA
Lay a little light on me
DDbm
Clothe me with your brightness
BmA
Lay a little light on me
DDbm
Oh, save me someone
BmA
Lay a little light on me
Verse 2FAm
Growing boys masturbate
Dm7A
Drink the wine and take the bread

Saintly priests castigate
Dm7A
Holy water for the head
D/AA
With shades of John the Baptist
D/AA
Who came intent to rescue
D/AA
And danced with death instead
ChorusDDbm
Rid me of my darkness
BmA
Lay a little light on me
DDbm
Clothe me with your brightness
BmA
Lay a little light on me
DDbm
Oh, save me someone
BmA
Lay a little light on me
