Makaton - YOU'VE GOT A FRIEND - Singing Hands

We love this Carole King / James Taylor classic from 1971. We did a lip-sync version of this during lockdown with fellow #Makaton tutors Kris & Nic, but here is our cover version at long last!
Lyrics and Makaton Sign Transcription:
When you're down and troubled (SAD/ WORRIED)
And you need a helping hand (NEED / HELP YOU)
And nothin', nothin' is goin' right (NOTHING / NOTHING / OK)
Close your eyes and think of me (CLOSE EYES / THINK / ME)
And soon I will be there (SOON / THERE)
To brighten up even your darkest night (HELP YOU / HAPPY)
You just call out my name (SHOUT / MY / NAME)
And you know, wherever I am (KNOW / I / HERE)
I'll come runnin' (oh running) (RUN / RUN)
To see you again (SEE / YOU / AGAIN)
Winter, spring, summer or fall (WINTER / SPRING / SUMMER / AUTUMN)
All you got to do is call (MUST / SHOUT)
And I'll be there, yes I’ll be there (HELP YOU / YES)
You've got a friend (YOU / HAVE / FRIEND)
If the sky above you (SKY)
Should turn dark and full of clouds (DARK / CLOUD)
And that old north wind should begin to blow (WIND)
Keep your head together (CONTINUE / CALM)
And call my name out loud (SHOUT / NAME / LOUD)
Soon I’ll be knockin' upon your door (*GESTURE KNOCK / DOOR)
You just call out my name (SHOUT / MY / NAME)
And you know, wherever I am(KNOW / I / HERE)
I'll come runnin', (oh yes I will) (RUN / YES)
To see you again (SEE / YOU / AGAIN)
Winter, spring, summer or fall (WINTER / SPRING / SUMMER / AUTUMN)
All you have to do is call (MUST / SHOUT)
And I'll be there, yeah yeah yeah, (HELP YOU / YES)
Ain't it good to know that you've got a friend (GOOD / KNOW / YOU / HAVE / FRIEND)
When people can be so cold? (PEOPLE / NASTY)
They'll hurt you and desert you (ABUSE / GO)
They’ll take your soul if you let them (TAKE / SOUL / ALLOW)
but don't you let them (NO / ALLOW)
You just call out my name (SHOUT / MY / NAME)
And you know, wherever I am (KNOW / I / HERE)
I'll come runnin' (oh running) (RUN / RUN )
To see you again (SEE / YOU / AGAIN)
Winter, spring, summer or fall (WINTER / SPRING / SUMMER / AUTUMN)
Hey now all you’ve got to do is call (MUST / SHOUT)
And I'll be there, yes, I will (HELP / YOU / YES)
You've got a friend (YOU / HAVE / FRIEND)
You've got a friend (YOU / HAVE / FRIEND)
Ain't it good to know you've got a friend (GOOD / KNOW / YOU / HAVE / FRIEND)
Ain't it good to know, You've got a friend (GOOD / KNOW / YOU / HAVE / FRIEND)
Oh, yeah, you've got a friend (YES / YOU / HAVE / FRIEND)
