Standard (EADGBE)

 When you're down and troubled

 And you need a helping hand

 And nothing, Oh nothing is going right

Close your eyes and think of me

And soon I will be there

 To brighten up even your darkest night

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 have to do is call

And I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.

You've got a friend

 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, yeah

 Soon I'll be knocking upon your door

You just call out my name

 And you know wherever I am

 I'll come running, oh yes I will

 To see you again

Winter, spring, summer or fall

All you have to do is call

And I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Ain't it good to know that you've got a friend

 When people can be so cold

 They'll hurt you, and desert you

 And take your soul if you let them

 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 (oh baby don't you know)

Winter, spring, summer or fall

All you have to do is call

 Lord, I'll be there yes I will..

 You've got a friend

Oh, you've got a friend.
