INTRO:

When you're down and troubled, and you need a helping hand,

If the sky a-bove you should turn dark and full of clouds,

And nothing, oh, nothing is going right.

And that old north wind should begin to blow,

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

Keep your head to-gether, and call my name out loud.

To brighten up even your darkest night.

Soon I'll be knocking upon your door.

CHORUS:

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

I'll come running to see you a-gain.

Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall, all you got to do is call,

And I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah, You've Got a Friend.

END THE SECOND CHORUS THIS WAY:

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

BRIDGE:

Now ain't it good to know that you've got a friend, when people can be so cold.

They'll hurt you and de-sert you. Well, they'll take your soul if you let them.

Oh, yeah, but don't you let them.

AFTER BRIDGE, DO CHORUS A THIRD TIME, ADDING:

Ain't it good to know You've Got a Friend? Ain't it good to know You've Got a Friend?

Oh, yeah, yeah, You've got a Friend.
