I said that the last year, but today is Sunday.
[Bb] [Bbm] I just wanna talk to you, fella.
I wonder if you ever had a [Bb] problem.
[Db] That you just could not [Eb] solve.
[Ab] And you need a little help to do it, [Eb] yeah.
[B]
[Bb] Thought you had [Db] friends you could count [Gb] on.
[Ab] [Db] But they ain't there anymore, baby.
[Gb] [Db] I wonder if you know what I'm talking about.
If you don't say [Bb] yeah, [Ebm] that's enough, baby.
[Bb]
I [Gb] can feel you all [B] the way to the moon.
[C]
[F] But you see, [Gb] if I ever get a problem,
[Bb] I have [Ebm] friends that I can go and talk to.
[Db]
And see, whenever you got a [F] problem, that's when all of them,
you know, sometimes you [Bbm] try.
[Db] So hard.
[Bbm]
[B] You ever meet somebody [Eb] sometimes and you say,
how you doing?
[Db] And they say, I'm not doing too fine.
You always know that they will [Ab] get you away.
But if you got a [Eb] problem,
you need a mirror,
you need a friend sometimes.
[Db]
I'm lucky to have [Ebm] six long [Gb] friends I can go and talk to [Ab] sometimes.
[Bb] [Ab]
I had a problem not too long ago.
But I could not solve [Eb] by myself.
[Db] Got in my car, got [Eb] the car and I drove around town.
But [Db] I didn't get married for long.
You know why I ended up [F] in the Melvin, oh!
Brother [Bb] Melvin, Lord have mercy.
Help me to see you cry.
Oh Lord, [Db] Brother Melvin, Melvin.
[Ab] How do you do?

just to [Bb] hide the dark clouds
over my [Fm] head.
