[Intro]
G     C/G     G     F#m7  B7
 
[Verse 1]
            Em       B7                Em       B7         Em B7 Em
When you're down and troubled and you need some love and care
    Am7      D7sus4           G      G
And nothing, nothing is going right
F#m7add11           B7              Em   B7          Em B7 Em
Close your eyes and think of me and soon I will be there
   Am7         Bm7               D7sus4
To brighten up even your darkest nights
 
 
[Chorus]
         G           Gmaj7         C
You just call out my name and you know wherever I am
          G                   D7sus4
I'll come running to see you again
G                         Gmaj7 C                          Em G/D
Winter, spring, summer or fall, all you have to do is call
         C       Bm7  Am7  D7sus4
And I'll be there
                G     C/G     G     F#m7  B7
You've got a friend
 
 
[Verse 2]
       Em   B7              Em       B7         Em B7 Em
If the sky above you, grows dark and full of clouds
         Am        D7sus4          G     G
And that ol' north wind, begins to blow
F#m7add11        B7         Em      B7         Em B7 Em
Keep your head together and call my name out loud
Am7                    Bm7            D7sus4 D7  D7sus2    D7
Soon, you'll hear me knocking at your door
 
 
[Chorus]
         G           Gmaj7           C
You just call out my name and you know wherever I am
          G                                        D7sus4
I'll come running, running, yeah yeah, to see you again
G                         Gmaj7 C                        Em G/D
Winter, spring, summer or fall, all you have to do is call
         C         Bm7    Am7   D7sus4
and I'll be there, yes, I will
 
 
[Bridge]
    F                             C
Now ain't it good to know that you've got a friend
     G                Gmaj7
When people can be so cold
        C                   F7            Em                        A7
They'll hurt you, yes and desert you, and take your soul if you let them
        D7sus4             D7
Oh, but don't you let them
 
 
[Chorus]
         G           Gmaj7          C
You just call out my name and you know wherever I am
          G                                        D7sus4
I'll come running, running, yeah yeah, to see you again
G                         Gmaj7 C                          Em    G/D
Winter, spring, summer or fall, all you have to do is call
         C                Bm7    Am7   D7sus4
and I'll be there, yes, I will
             G       C              G
You've got a friend,   you've got a friend
         C/G                        G
Ain't it good to know, you've got a friend
         C/G                            G
Ain't it good to know, ain't it good to know
                 C/G                G
Ain't it good to know, you've got a friend
   C                         G             C
Oh yeah now, oh you've got a friend, yeah, baby
             G           C
You've got a friend, oh, yeah
                 G
Now you've got a friend

This is great! Thanks for the contribution. Just a couple notes for other users, in case it's helpful. The Emajor in the chorus doesn't quite sound right to me (I just skip it and do C - Am - D, and also at the end, I add a few chords: G C You've got a friend G C You've got a friend, Ain't it good to know G You've got a friend C Ain't it good to know Am Ain't it good to know D Ain't it good to know, G You've got a friend,
