                Em      B7             Em     B7          Em7  B7 Em
When you're down and troubled and you need a helping hand
    Am            D                G     Am   G
And nothing, oh, nothing is going right
F#m7                    B7          Em        B7         Em7  B7 Em
Close your eyes and think of me and soon I will be there
   Am7         Bm7                    D   D7
To brighten up even your darkest night
              G          G             C            Am7
You just call out my name,  and you know wherever I am
         G                D
I'll come running to see you again
    G                                C                   Em7
Winter, spring, summer, or fall,  all you got to do is call
         C    Bm7              Am7  D7          C             G         C G Am G F#m B7

        Em    B7               Em       B7            Em7 B7 Em
If the sky above you should turn dark and full of cloud
         Am        D                   G     Am G
And that old north wind should begin to blow
F#m7                 B7     Em          B7       Em7  B7  Em
Keep your head together and call my name out loud
Am7          Bm7                    D  D7
Soon I'll be knocking upon your door
                   G          G             C            Am7
You just call out my name,  and you know wherever I am
         G                D
I'll come running to see you again
