LEAN ON ME
Bill Withers
         

	
               INTRO:  C  F  C  G (repeat) 

                Sometimes, in our lives
	We all have pain, we all have sorrow
	But, if we are wise
	We know there's always tomorrow

	C  F  C  G
                C  F  C  G  C (all throughout) 
	
	Lean on me
                When you're not strong
	And I'll be your friend
                I'll help you carry on
	For it won't be long
	Till I'm gonna need 
                Somebody to lean on

	Please swallow your pride
	If I have things you need to borrow
	For no one can fill those of your needs
	That you don't let show

                Lean on me
                When you're not strong
	And I'll be your friend
                I'll help you carry on
	For it won't be long
	Till I'm gonna need 
                Somebody to lean on

  	              C
                You just call on me brother when you need a hand
                           F              C           G    C
	We all need somebody to lean on
                   C
	I might just have a problem that you'll understand
                             F            C           G    C
	We all need somebody to lean on

                If there is a load you have to bear 
                That you can't carry 
                I'm right up the road 
                I'll share your load 
                If you just call me            	 

	Lean on me
                When you're not strong
	And I'll be your friend
                I'll help you carry on
	For it won't be long
	Till I'm gonna need 
                Somebody to lean on

  
                You just call on me brother when you need a hand
 	We all need somebody to lean on
 	I might just have a problem that you'll understand
    	We all need somebody to lean on

                Lean on me
                When you're not strong
	And I'll be your friend
                I'll help you carry on
	For it won't be long
	Till I'm gonna need 
                Somebody to lean on 

                Lean on me...
