Verse
     C                 G
In times when you're troubled
 C                        F
Seems more than you can afford
         G                  C
And you feel, you feel you need a friend
 F                    G
Someone to share the load

Chorus
               Am    G     F
And when your skies grow cloudy
               Am          G            F
I want you to know got a friend that's true
               C                    F
Just like a shelter, in a time of storm
               C                       F
I'll see you through, that's what I'll do

Verse
            C            G
When your dreams are scattered
 C                        F
Just like the wind blown sand
         G                  C
And you feel, you feel you need a friend
 F                             G
I'll be there, reach out your hand

Chorus
             Am   G       F
And when the tempest is raging
               Am          G            F
I want you to know got a friend that's true
               C                    F
Just like a shelter, in a time of storm
               C                       F
I'll see you through, that's what I'll do

Verse
 C                         G
I'll see you through your bad times
 C                         F
I'll see you through your fears
 G                         C
I'll see you through your hang ups
 F                        G
Honey I'll dry all your tears

I want you to know got a friend that's true
               C                    F
Just like a shelter, in a time of storm

I'll see you through, that's what I'll do

Bridge
