_ _ _ Now this old life ain't something that you live all by yourself.
[C] [C#] There always comes a time [D] you need a friend.
Sometimes this world can get so heavy [C#] and the road can get so long
[B] that you need someone to lend a [C#] helping hand.
[D] _ [A] Well, I learned life the hard way.
I took all my knocks and lumps.
But [C#] when I look back down the road where [D] I've been,
I can see that all the things I've [E] done in this old [C#] life have been more fun
[Bm] because I shared them [E] with someone who [A] was a friend.
You've [Bm] got to care about one another, [C#m] be a friend and be a brother
[F#m] because you're always going to need someone [A] that you can lean on.
You've got [Bm] to help each other out.
That's what this life [F#m] is all about
because there ain't [B] no way that you can make this [C#m] journey [D] _
alone.
[G] Well, I [A] guess that I'm lucky because I've been there and back.
[C#] Yes, I've seen life not every which way [D] you can.
_ But as far as I'm [E] concerned, the greatest [C#] thing that a man can [F#m] learn
is when you're [Bm] down [E] it's great to turn [A] to a friend.
