[Verso 1]
 
G    C                  F 
When skies are grey and days are dark 
    C          G        Am 
And life kinda gets you down 
      G 
Don't sit, knit your brows and frown 
      C 
Don't jump in the creek and drown 
                      F 
Reach out one time to find a friend 
    E7                 Am 
And then you will understand 
     G            Am 
That life's worth living 
D      G       C   F 
Living hand in hand 



[Verso 2]
 
C 
When you're feeling downhearted 
F                      C 
When you're lower than dust 
Am                     G 
When you're feeling so downright mean 
                      C 
You could practically bust 
C 
When your friends have departed 
F                 C          E7      Am 
And there isn't a good thing you can see 
C     Am       Dm7   G7 
Reach out your hand, baby 
C       F       C 
You can lean on me 



[Refrão]
 
    F 
The more you want me near you 
    C 
The nearer I'll be 
    G7 
I'm reaching out to cheer you 
    C 
And you can lean on me 
    F 
The more the joy of giving 
    C 
The greater the gift 
   D7 
So share the life you're living 
    G7 
And see your spirits lift
