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

Lean on me,  when you’re not strong

For it won’t be long

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

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)
