[Verse 1]

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 won't let show


[Bridge]

        C
So just call on me brother, when you need a hand
       C                G7   C
We all need somebody to lean on
       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

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 (call me)
