Lean On Me Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

F7M C

(verse 1) (finger pick or strum verses)

 You've seen F7Mbad times

CYour eyes have told me so blue and F7Mbad times

CYou think that I don't know but there'll be F7Mglad times

CJust you wait and see girl I'll F7Mbe your sunrise if you

 Lean on Cme

 Now I iF7Mmagine CI could comfort you I'd forF7Mgotten

 The tChings that you'd been through

 But here's F7Mone thing on wChich we can agree

 When you're F7Mready darling you can lean on Cme

 And the love I bCring will grow into a lasting tGhing

 It'll put your heart on wiFngs and set you fCree

 And as you Crise high into the clearing Fsky

 Maybe you will realFize you can always

 Lean on Cme said lean on me baby lean on Gme

 Said just lean on Fme you can lean on Cme

 All your heartachF7Mes are hidden deCep inside

 So there's noF7M telling how mCany tears you've cried

 And like the F7Mriver told the weeCping willow tree

 I can F7Mhold your teardrops child just lean on Cme

 Sweet love and Ccare and girl I'll find the strength

 I sGwear and when you need me I'll be thFere

 If you let it Cbe

 Till my time is dCone till the longest race is rGun

 Right on till the kingdom cFomes you can always

 Lean on Cme—said lean on Cme baby lean on Gme

 Yeah you can lean on Fme

 You know that you can lean on Cme

This is a rather raw demo version that I find much more compelling than most

of the studio releases of the song. It's just Terry and his guitar. Same

arrangement, slightly different lyrics.

As always, corrections, comments welcome. All my own work.
