[Verse 1]
C
 There are times when things don’t work out
F
It’s not the place that you’d like to be
C
In a crowd it can feel so lonely
F
But you can stay right here with me
G
All the time that we spent together
F
You know I give the best I can
G
You can call on me whenever
F
Reach out for the helping hand

[Verse 2]
C
Look how they feed the crocodile
F
Hoping it will eat them last
C
O how I love to see you smile
F
Tender scars from the past
G
Won’t you take a ride from me girl
F
Believe me I understand
G
We’ll sail across the sea to the other world
F
Reach out for the Helping Hand


[Chorus]
C
             F
The Helping Hand
             C
The Helping Hand
             F
The Helping Hand


[Verse 3]
G
Run away, run away this time
F
Someone who understands
G
Try again, try again next time
F
Reach out for the Helping Hand
