[Verse 1] 
C   C     Dm Em  F 
Sometimes in our lives, 
F  Em  Dm   C     C  Dm  Em   Em   G 
We all have pain, we all have sor-row. 
C    C  Dm Em  F 
But, if we are wise, 
F  Em   Dm   C        C  Dm    Em G   C 
We know that there's, a -lways to-mor-row. 
  
[Chorus] 
           C C    Dm     Em  F 
Lean on me, when you're not strong, 
    F    Em Dm   C       C    Dm   Em  Em    G 
And I'll be your friend; I'll help you carry on. 
C   C  Dm    Em F      F    Em  Dm     C  
For it won't be long, 'till I'm gon-na need, 
     C Dm  Em G   C 
Some-body to lean on. 
  
[Verse 2] 
C       C    Dm  Em   F 
Please, swal-low your pride, 
F  Em Dm   C       C   Dm   Em Em   G  
If I  have things, you need to bor-row. 
C    C  Dm  Em  F     F     Em Dm   C  
For, no one can fill, those of your needs, 
C    Dm  Em    G   C  
That you don't let show. 
  
[Bridge] 
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; 
                          G   C 
We all need somebody, to lean on. 
  
[Chorus] 
           C C    Dm     Em  F 
Lean on me, when you're not strong, 
    F    Em Dm   C       C    Dm   Em  Em    G 
And I'll be your friend; I'll help you carry on. 
C   C  Dm    Em F      F    Em  Dm     C  
For it won't be long, 'till I'm gon-na need, 
              G   C 
Some-body to lean on. 
  
[Bridge] 
You, 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; 
                          G   C 
We all need somebody, to lean on. 
  
[Verse 3] 
C   C     Dm Em F     F   Em   Dm C  
If, there is a  load, you have to bear, 
C    Dm  Em    Em  G  
That you can't car-ry. 
C   C     Dm Em  F     F    Em    Dm   C  
I'm right up the road; I'll share your load, 
C  Dm  Em   G    C  
If you just call me.
