C                F
Sometimes in our lives
            C
we all have pain
            Em   G
We all have sorrow
C                F
But if we are wise
             C              G7     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
              Em    G
I'll help you carry on
C               F
For it won't be long
               C
'Til I'm gonna need
            G7   C
Somebody to lean on


[Verse 2]
C                   F
Please swallow your pride
          C
If I have things
            Em   G
you need to borrow
C              F
For no one can fill
              C
those of your needs
               G7  C
That you don't let show


[Bridge]
C                                    G      C
So just call on me brother, when you need a hand
C                       G7   C
We all need somebody to lean on
C                                G          C
I just might have a problem that you'd understand
C                       G7   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
              Em    G
I'll help you carry on
C               F
For it won't be long
               C
'Til I'm gonna need
            G7   C
Somebody to lean on


[Bridge]
C                                    G      C
So just call on me brother, when you need a hand
C                       G7   C
We all need somebody to lean on
C                                G          C
I just might have a problem that you'd understand
C                       G7   C
We all need somebody to lean on


[Verse 3]
C             F
If there is a load
            C
you have to bear
               Em  G
That you can't carry
C                F
I'm right up the road
                C
I'll share your load
            G7   C
If you just call me


[Outro]
            G7  C
If you just call me
G7   C
Call me
G7   C                G7       C
Call me if you need a friend
            G7       C
If you ever need me
             G7   C
You can just call me
G7   C
Call me
              G7      C
If you need a friend
G7   C
Call me
