G     C   D7sus4     G       F#m   B7

[Verse 1]
            Em       B7               Em        B7       Em
When you're down and troubled and you need some love and care
    Am7      D7sus4           G      G
And nothing, nothing is going right.
F#m                 B7              Em   B7        Em
Close your eyes and think of me and soon I will be there
   Am7         Bm7               D7sus4
To brighten up even your darkest nights


[Chorus]
         G           Gmaj7         C              Am
You just call out my name and you know wherever I am,
          G                   D7sus4
I'll come running to see you again
G                       Gmaj7 C                          Em G/D
Winter spring summer or fall, all you have to do is call
         C       Bm7  Am7  D7sus4 
And I'll be there    
             G       C     G    F#m    B7
You've got a friend


[Verse 2]
       Em   B7              Em       B7      Em
If the sky above you, grows dark and full of clouds,
         Am        D7sus4          G     G
And that ol' north wind, begins to blow.
F#m              B7         Em      B7       Em
Keep your head together and call my name out loud,
Am7                    Bm7            D7sus4 D7  D7sus2    D7
soon, you'll hear me knocking at your door.


[Chorus]
         G           Gmaj7            C      
You just call out my name and you know wherever I am,
          G                                        D7sus4
I'll come running, running, yeah yeah, to see you again
G                       Gmaj7 C                          Em G/D
Winter spring summer or fall, all you have to do is call
         C         Bm7    Am7   D7sus4
and I'll be there, yes, I will.


[Bridge]
    F                             C
Now ain't it good to know that you've got a friend
     G                Gmaj7
When people can be so cold.
        C                   F7            Em                        A7
They'll hurt you, yes and desert you, and take your soul if you let them.
        D7sus4             D7
Oh, but don't you let them.


[End-Chorus]
         G           Gmaj7          C
You just call out my name and you know wherever I am,
          G                                        D7sus4
I'll come running, running, yeah yeah, to see you again
G                       Gmaj7 C                          Em    G/D
Winter spring summer or fall, all you have to do is call
         C                Bm7    Am7   D7sus4
and I'll be there, yes, I will.
             G       C              G
You've got a friend,   you've got a friend.
         C/G                        G
Ain't it good to know, you've got a friend.
         C/G                            G
Ain't it good to know, ain't it good to know
                 C/G                G
Ain't it good to know, you've got a friend
   C                         G             C
Oh yeah now, oh you've got a friend, yeah, baby.
             G           C
You've got a friend, oh, yeah.
                 G
Now you've got a friend.
