1. Just yesterday Em 
morning they let me 
D 
know you were 
A 
gone
Asus2 
 
A 
 

Susanne the E 
plans they made put an 
G 
end to you 

A 
walked out this 
Em 
morning and I 
D 
wrote down 
A 
this song
Asus2 
 
A 
 

I just can't E 
remember who to 
G 
send it to
G 
 
D 
 


R: D 
I've seen 
Bm 
fire and I've seen 
A 
rain
Asus2 
 
A 
 

I've seen D 
sunny days that I 
Bm 
thought would never 
A 
end
Asus2 
 
A 
 

I've seen D 
lonely times when I 
Bm 
could not find a 
A 
friend
Asus2 
 
A 
 

But I G 
always thought that I'd 
Em 
see you 
A 
again
A7 
 


2. Won't you look down upon me, Jesus You've got to help me make a stand 
You've just got to see me through another day 
My body's aching and my time is at hand 
And I won't make it any other way 

R: I've seen fire …

3. Been walking my mind to an easy time, my back turned towards the sun 
Lord knows when the cold wind blows it'll turn your head around 
Well, there's hours of time on the telephone line to talk about things to come 
Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground 

R: I've seen fire …

baby, one more time again 
Thought I'd G 
see you one more 
Em 
time 
A 
again 

Thought I'd see you, thought I'd see you fire and rain, now . . .

: You've got a Friend

1. When you're down and troubled
and you need a helping hand,
and nothing, whoa nothing is going right.
Close your eyes and think of me
and soon I will be there
to brighten up even your darkest nights.

R: You just call out my name,
and you know wherever I am
I'll come running, oh yeah baby
to see you again.
Winter, spring, summer, or fall,
all you got to do is call
and I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You've got a friend.

2. If the sky above you
should turn dark and full of clouds
and that old north wind should begin to blow
Keep your head together and call my name out loud now
and soon I'll be knocking upon your door.

R: You just call out my name and you know where ever I am
I'll come running to see you again.
Winter, spring, summer or fall
all you got to do is call
and I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Hey, ain't it good to know that you've got a friend?
People can be so cold.
They'll hurt you and desert you.
Well they'll take your soul if you let them.
Oh yeah, but don't you let them.

You just call out my name and you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again.
Oh babe, don't you know that,
Winter spring summer or fall,
Hey now, all you've got to do is call.
Lord, I'll be there, yes I will.
You've got a friend.
You've got a friend.
Ain't it good to know you've got a friend.
Ain't it good to know you've got a friend.
You've got a friend.
