verse 1 
F              Am 
Watch my hand, see it shakes 
Dm7                        A 
Trembling as my life blood bleeds 
F           Am 
Comfortless super-fakes 
Dm7                  A 
Offering their empty creeds 
     D/A              A 
That have no faith or substance 
     D/A                A 
That change to suit the doubter 
   D/A         A 
To satisfy his needs 

D              C#m 
Rid me of your darkness 
Bm                    A 
Lay a little light on me 
D                   C#m 
Clothe me with your brightness 
Bm                    A 
Lay a little light on me 
D           C#m 
Oh, save me someone 
Bm                    A 
Lay a little light on me 

verse 2 
F            Am 
Growing boys masturbate 
Dm7                         A 
Drink the wine and take the bread 
F               Am 
Saintly priests castigate 
Dm7                A 
Holy water for the head 
     D/A                A 
With shades of John the Baptist 
    D/A            A 
Who came intent to rescue 
    D/A                 A 
And danced with death instead 

D            C#m 
Rid me of my darkness 
Bm                    A 
Lay a little light on me 
D                   C#m 
Clothe me with your brightness 
Bm                    A 
Lay a little light on me 
D           C#m 
Oh, save me someone 
Bm                    A 
Lay a little light on me___
