[Verse 1]

 

 C                F

Sometimes in our lives

             C

We all have pain

             G

We all have sorrow

 C            F

But if we are wise

               C               G  C

We know that there's always tomorrow

 

 

[Chorus]

 

          C                    F

Lean on me, when you're not strong

                   C 

And I'll be your friend

               G

I'll help you carry on

 C              F

For it won't be long

                C

'Til I'm gonna need

             G  C

Somebody to lean on

 

 

[Verse 2]

 

   C                  F

Please swallow your pride

            C

If I have things

             G

You need to borrow

 C             F

For no one can fill

               C

Those of your needs

                G    C

That you won't let show

 

 

[Bridge]

 

         C

So just call on me brother, when you need a hand

        C               

We all need somebody to lean on

        C

I just might have a problem that you'd understand

        C                 G  C

We all need somebody to lean on

 

 

[Chorus]

 

          C                    F

Lean on me, when you're not strong

                   C 

And I'll be your friend

               G

I'll help you carry on

 C              F

For it won't be long

                C

'Til I'm gonna need

             G  C

Somebody to lean on

 

 

[Bridge]

 

         C

So just call on me brother, when you need a hand

        C               

We all need somebody to lean on

        C

I just might have a problem that you'd understand

        C                 G  C

We all need somebody to lean on

 

 

[Verse 3]

 

C              F

If there is a load

              C

you have to bear

                G

That you can't carry

C                 F

I'm right up the road

                  C

I'll share your load

             G    C

If you just call me 

 

[Outro]

 F   C

Call me, if you need a friend

 F    C

Call me…
