     Bm                     D
Oh. Now when you think the times, babe
F#m           E
Take a look around
         Bm                D
Because babies are dying from disease
F#m                   E
Sleeping out on the ground

Bm                     D
People never seen the tortured eyes
F#m             E
From a foreign land. No
 Bm                          D        A
When you see somebody who's down and out
G       D/F#    A
Lend a helping hand

             G      D/F#    A
You better, lend a helping hand. If you can
G       D/F#    A
Lend a helping hand
G     D/F#    E
Do it if you can

Oh. Every time you feed your face
Do you bow your head
Hunger kills each and every day
Won't you share your bread

If you've ever felt the pain inside
I know you'd understand
When you see somebody who's down and out
Lend a helping hand

You better, lend a helping hand. If you can
Lend a helping hand
Do it if you can

Oh. Every time you feed that face
Do you look around
For somebody right in your own neighborhood
Sleeping out on the ground

And do some down south juking
If you've ever felt the pain inside
I know you'd understand
When you see somebody who's down and out
Lend a helping hand

Why don't you, lend a helping hand. If you can
Lend a helping hand
Won't you please lend a helping hand
