Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 When you're  down and  troubled and you  need some  lovin'  care
 And nothing, nothing  is going right
Close  your eyes and think  of me and soon  I will  be there
 To brighten  up even  your darkest nights
 You just call out  my name, and you know, wherever  I am,
 I come running  to see you again
Winter  spring summer or fall all  you got to do is call
 And I'll be  there, yes I will
 You've got a  friend
 If the sky  above  you grows dark  and full  of  clouds,
and  that old north  wind begins to  blow
Keep  your head together,  and call  my name out  loud
Soon  you'll hear  me knocking at your  door
 Repeat Chorus
You've  got a friend
Now  ain't it good to know that you've  got a friend
 When people  can be so cold
 They'll hurt  you, yes and desert  you and take  your soul if you let  them
 But don't  you let them
 Repeat Chorus
 The End!
 Enjoy - Kieran
