You've Got A Friend

Words & Music:

Carole King

 

            Am       E7                Am

When you're down and troubled, and you need some loving care,

    Dm7      G7               C   E7

And nothing, nothing is going right.

Am                  E7               Am

Close your eyes and think of me, and soon I will be there,

   Dm7         Em                Dm7   G7

To brighten up even your darkest night.

 

CHORUS:

         C                         F

You just call out my name, and you know wherever I am,

          C                    G7sus4   G

I'll come running to see you again.

C                               F                     Am7   G

Winter, spring, summer or fall, all you have to do is call,

         F   Em Dm7 G7                         C

And I'll be there---, yes I will, you've got a friend.

 

If the sky above you grows dark and full of clouds,

And that old north wind begins to blow.

Keep your head together, and call my name out loud,

Soon you'll hear me knocking at your door.

 

CHORUS:

 

BRIDGE:

     Bb                         F

Now, ain't it good to know that you've got a friend,

     C

When people can be so cold.

        F                   Bb9

They'll hurt you, yes and desert you,

    Am7                   D7                G7sus4          G7

And take your soul if you let them, Oh, but don't you let them.

 

CHORUS:
