Lean On Me
By: Bill Withers
Chords by: thesnakebitekid
Repeat this over and over:
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 sorrow
C C Dm Em F
But if we are wise
F Em Dm C
We know that there's
C Dm Em Dm C
Always to mor row
(same progression repeats through the song)
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
'Til 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
'Til I'm gonna 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
So just call on me brother, when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'd 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...
