The chord progression to this song is:

· C, F, G

C F G

When I was a young boy

C F G

I never did the things I was told no, no, no, no, no

C F G

Now that I’m a little older and I’m livin' on the road

C F G

Yes, I’m crazy

C F G

You gotta be crazy to live this way

C F G

You gotta be crazy to live day by day

C F G

Hey, hey I’m crazy

C F G

I used to be into material possession

C F G

'Till I fell into this spiritual recession

C F G

I’ve got one thing left to give away that’s plain to see

C F G

That thing is that you can lean on me

C F G

You can lean on me

C F G

When none of your friends are around

C F G

Just as long as I’m in town

C F G

You can lean on me

C F G

You gotta be kind to the hobo (and the wino)

C F G

'Cuz you might be one someday hey, hey, hey

C F G

When you’re a deadbeat and livin' on the street

C F G

You’re gonna wish that you could hear someone say

C F G

“You can lean on me”

C F G

You can lean on me

C F G

When your dick’s in the dirt

C F G

And the things that people say begin to hurt

C F G

You can lean on me

C F G

When everybody’s on your case

C F G

And you can’t seem to find your place

C F G

You can lean on me

C F G

I’m as strong as a mountain

C F G

Givin' up love like a fountain

C F G

You can lean on me

C F G

If you need a shoulder you can cry on

C F G

If you need a lap you can die on

C F G

You can lean on me

C F G

You can lean on me

C F G

You can lean on me

C F G

You got to roll with the punches

C F G

Trouble always comes in bunches

C F G

But don’t you forget, but don’t forget, don’t forget how to smile

C F G

You gotta run the last mile

C F G

You can lean on me

C F G

You can lean on me

C F G

You can lean on me

C F G

Because I’m crazy you can lean on me

C F G

I’m certifiably crazy with no guarantee

C F G

I’m in-deniably crazy you can lean on me

C F G

You can lean on me
