Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
this song is rather difficult to play the real chords, as it is meant for piano,
these are the chords i use when playing it on piano. when i play it on guitar its
easiest to play barred chords or even power chords sound good.
C C Dm Em F
Some — times in our lives
F Em Dm C
we all have pain
C Dm Em Em Dm
We all have sor–row
C C Dm Em F
But if we are wise
F Em Dm C C Dm Em G7 C
We know that there’s al-ways to-mor-row
Chorus
C C Dm Em F
Lean on me, when you’re not strong
F Em Dm C
And I’ll be your friend
C Dm Em Em Dm
I’ll help you carry on
C C Dm Em F
For it won’t be long
F Em Dm C
‘Til I’m gonna need
C Dm Em G7 C
Somebody to lean on
Verse 2 (Played the same way as Verse 1)
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
(Chorus)
Verse 3 (Played the same way as the other verses)
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
Bridge
C G C
So just call on me brother, when you need a hand
C G C
We all need somebody to lean on
C G C
I just might have a problem that you’d understand
C G C
We all need somebody to lean on
(Chorus)
