[Verse]

G                C                 G                 D   D7
Sometimes in our lives we all have pain, we all have sorrow
G                C                G                D7  G
But if we are wise we know that there's always tomorrow


[Chorus]

        G                   C                       G
Lean on me, when you're not strong and I'll be your friend
              D     D7 G               C                   G        A7      D    G
I'll help you carry on for it won't be long 'til I'm gonna need somebody to lean on


[Verse]

G                C                 G                D   D7
Please swallow your pride if I have things you need to borrow
G                C                 G                D7  G
For no one can fill those of your needs that you don't let show


[Chorus]

        G                   C                       G
Lean on me, when you're not strong and I'll be your friend
              D     D7 G               C                   G        A7      D    G
I'll help you carry on for it won't be long 'til I'm gonna need somebody to lean on


[Verse]

G                C                 G                D   D7
If there is a load you have to bear that you can't carry
G                C                  G                D7  G
I'm right up the road, I'll share your load if you just call me

G                C                 G                D   D7                  D    G
So just call on me brother, when you need a hand - We all need somebody to lean on
G                   C                  G            D   D7                  D     G
I just might have a problem that you'd understand - We all need somebody to lean on


[Chorus]

        G                   C                       G
Lean on me, when you're not strong and I'll be your friend
              D     D7 G               C                   G        A7      D    G
I'll help you carry on for it won't be long 'til I'm gonna need somebody to lean on
