Verse 1: Am7 On the African plains, Fmaj7 A young mother weeps for her hungry child, She prays he'll survive. Am7 Tearfilled eyes, Fmaj7 She looks up to heaven, calls Your name, She pours out her pain. G D/F# You know her name, Fmaj7 And You hear her cries. Chorus: C G/B Friend of the poor, help me through the night, Dm7 Fmaj7 Help me in the fight, come to my rescue. C G/B Friend of the poor, take this skin and bones, [1.& 2.] Dm7 Fmaj7 Make this heart a home; Come to my rescue, Am7 G Fmaj7/A Am7 G Fmaj7/A Friend of the poor. [Last time] Dm7 F Fmaj7 Make this heart a home; Come to my rescue, Am7 G Fmaj7/A Am7 G Fmaj7/A Friend of the poor. Verse 2: On the streets of L.A. An old man lies in his cardboard home; He feels so alone. With tear-stained eyes He looks up to heaven And prays a prayer: "Is there anyone there?" You know his name and You hear his cries. Mid section: Em It's getting dark, it's getting late, Fmaj7 Am7 Dm7 It's cold outside the rich man's gate; C Esus4 E Fmaj7 And I'm wondering, do you have any friends around here? Who are friends of the poor. . .
