I Lean On You Lord
This version is in refernce to this youtube version: https://youtu.be/kXVD2eD3nu8
The youtube version features Cheryl Neptune playing piano and singing.
In the youtube video the song is played in Eb maj - I have written it out in E maj.
In the video, the song fades in - there isn't an intro.
I made an intro which you could play using the last chords of the chorus "To supply my every need, I lean
on you".
My demo version of this tabbed version can be found here: https://youtu.be/Y1-1sLQ_vxM
I personally play it in the key of A maj with a capo on the 2nd fret. You can transpose this song
to the key of G maj and capo the 2nd fret - then you'll be in tune with the demo if you want to play along.
