When you're weary 
          D     G
Feeling small     
     C     G   D       G

I will dry them all

I'm on your side

And friends just can't be found

Like a bridge over troubled water

When you're down and out      
                          G
When you're on the streets
        C  G    D        G     
When an evening falls so hard 
D        G       D
 I will comfort you 
     A    Bm   A    
I'll take your part 
A7          A6  A7    D    D7

         D9  G  E A
And pain is all around

Like a bridge over troubled water
G        A7     Bm
  I will lay me down
D7  D9  G      A7   D        Bm    
Like a bridge over troubled water
G       A7    D    G  D  G
I will lay me down
 
    D               G         D    G
Sail on silver girl.  Sail on by
     C    G   D       G
Your time has come to shine
         D                     G  D
All your dreams are on their way
    A   Bm   A     
See how they shine 
A7             A6      A7   D      D7
Ohhhhh and if you need a   friend
       D9   G     E    A
I'm sailing right behind

Like a bridge over troubled water
G      A7        Bm
I will ease your mind

Like a bridge over troubled water
G       A7        D     G D G D
