Lyrics

Some

times in our lives

we all have pain,

we all have sor

row.

But,

if we are wise,

we know that there’s

al ways to mor row.

Lean on me

when you’re not strong

and I’ll be your friend,

I’ll help you car ry on.

For

it won’t be long

’til I’m gon na need

some bod y to lean

on.

Call me,

call me,

call me,

call me.

Does it show chords so I can play along on guitar or piano?
It does — a chord symbol sits on a thin row just above the lyric it changes on, so the same screen doubles as a lyrics-and-chords chart. Guitarists can strum the changes and pianists can comp while singing; the chords are colour-coded and move with the live transpose if you change key.

Yes — the tempo control lets you take it as slow as you need while the lyrics still light up in time and the ball keeps you on the beat. Speed it back up once you can sing and play it through.
