James Vernon Taylor (born March 12, 1948) is an American singer-songwriter and guitarist. A five-time Grammy Award winner, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2000. He is one of the best-selling music artists of all time, having sold more than 100 million records worldwide.
Taylor achieved his breakthrough in 1970 with the No. 3 single "Fire and Rain" and had his first No. 1 hit the following year with "You've Got a Friend", a recording of Carole King's classic song.

AEm9A There’s something in the way she moves EmDGA Or looks my way, or calls my name EmGCD That seems to leave this troubled world behind AEm9A If I’m feeling down and blue EmDGA Or troubled by some foolish game EmGCA She always seems to make me change my mind
[Chorus]
AEmDA And I feel fine anytime she’s around me now F#mBm She’s around me now E Almost all the time AEmDA And if I’m well you can tell that she’s been with me now F#mBm And she’s been with me now E Quite a long, long time DA/EAGDA And I feel fine
[Verse]
DCG/BCD Every now and then the things I lean on lose their meaning G/BCD And I find myself careening CG/BEmA Into places where I should not let me go DCG/BCD she has the power to go where no one else can find me G/BCD Yes, and to silently remind me G/BCDBmE Of the happiness and good times that I know, you know BmE Well I said I just got to know that
AEm9A It isn’t what she’s got to say EmDGA Or how she thinks or where she’s been EmGCD To me, the words are nice, the way they sound AEm9A I like to hear them best that way EmDGA It doesn’t much matter what they mean EmGCA she says them mostly just to calm me down
[Chorus]
AEmDA And I feel fine anytime she’s around me now F#mBm She’s around me now E Almost all the time AEmDA And if I’m well you can tell that she’s been with me now F#mBm And she’s been with me now Bm/EBmBm Quite a long Long Time BmEAGDA Yes, and I feel fine
