               G
Well, you can read out your Bible
You can fall down on your knees, pretty mama
And pray to the Lord
But it ain’t gonna do no good
              C
You’re gonna need
                               G
You’re gonna need my help someday
          D
Well, if you can’t quit your sinnin’
G
Please quit your low down ways

         G
You can run down to the desert
You can stick your head in the sand
You can raise up your right hand
But your good man ain’t-a-commin’ home,
you better understand
              C
You’re gonna need
                               G
You’re gonna need my help someday
(someday gonna need my help, someday)
          D
Well, if you can’t quit your sinnin’
G
Please quit your low down ways (Riff)

              G
Now, you can run down to the White House
You can gaze on the Capitol Dome
You can pound on the President’s gate, pretty mama
But you know it’s gonna be too late
              C
You’re gonna need
                               G
You’re gonna need my help someday
(my help, someday)
          D
Well, if you can’t quit your sinnin’
G
Please quit your low down ways

             G
And you can hitchhike on the highway
You can stand all alone by the side of the road
Tryin’ to flag a ride back home, pretty mama
But you ain’t-a-gonna ride in my car no more
              C
You’re gonna need
                               G
You’re gonna need my help someday
          D
Well, if you can’t quit your sinnin’
G
Please quit your low down ways

So, you can read out your Hymn book,
You can fall down on your knees
And pray to the Lord, pretty mama,
But it ain't gonna do no good.
You're gonna need
You're gonna need my help someday
(oh, wait and see)
if y'all can't quit your sinnin'
Please quit your low down ways.
