Intro

    
     
    

Verse 1

When you're weary, feeling small
When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all  
I'm on your side, oh, when times get rough 
And friends just can't be found

Chorus

Like a bridge over troubled wa-ter
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled wa-ter
I will lay me down     

Verse 2

When you're down and out 
When you're on the street 
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you  
I'll take your part
Oh, when darkness comes 
And pain is all around

Chorus

Like a bridge over troubled wa - ter
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down 

Instrumental

    
    
    

Verse 3

Sail on silvergirl 
Sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way  
See how they shine
Oh, if you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind

Chorus

Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind 
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
