When you're down and troubled and you need a helping hand,

and nothing, oh, nothing is going right,
F#m7                          B7                         Em      B7       Em    Em7
close your eyes and think of me and soon I will be there

If the sky above you should turn dark and full of clouds,
and that old north wind should begin to blow,
keep your head together and call my name out loud.
Soon I'll be knocking upon your door.
 

You just call out my name,  and you know wherever I am,
I'll come running   to see you again.
Winter, spring, summer, or fall,  all you got to do is call
and I'll be there,     yeah, yeah, yeah.

G                              Gmaj7                 C                   Fmaj7
people can be so cold.     They'll hurt you and desert you.
               Em                             A7
they'll take your soul if you let them.
                       D7sus4                  D7sus4  D7
Oh yeah, but don't you let them.
 


You just call out my name,  and you know wherever I am,
I'll come running   to see you again.
Winter, spring, summer, or fall,  all you got to do is call
and I'll be there, yes I will.    You've got a friend.
