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              G       C
We know that there's always tomorrow


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
            G    C
Somebody to lean on


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 
               G   C
That you WON?T let show


C                                     G      C
you 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'll understand
C                       G    C
We all need somebody to lean on


C                           F

I just might have a problem that you'll understand
C                       G    C
We all need somebody to lean on


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

This is really good! A lot more simple than the other ones I've seen. The chords compliment your voice, if you like to sing while playing.
