When you're weary,      feelin' small,

When tears are in your eyes,

      A        A9  D9  A  E  F#m   E     E7
I'll dry them all.    I'm on your side.

Oh, when times get rough

        A6        D    B7   E       
And friends just can't be found,

E7/6 E7  D    Cdim  A       F#m    D         E7     F#m
Like a bridge over troubled waters,  I will lay me down,

When you're down and out,         when you're on the street,

     G    D     A        D
When eve -nin' falls so hard

A        A9        D9  A   E    F#m   E   E7

And pain is all a-round,

Like a bridge over troubled waters,  I will lay me down,

Sail on, Silver Girl,       sail on by;

      G   D    A       D
Your time has come to shine -

           A                     A9 D9  A   E  F#m   E      E7
All your dreams are on their way . . . see how they shine?

Oh, if you need a friend,

     A6     D     B7  E
I'm sailing right be-hind,

E7/6 E7  D    Cdim  A       F#m   D         E7        F#m
Like a bridge over troubled waters, I will ease your mind;

 A7      D    Cdim  A       F#m   D         E7        F#m  F#m7  B7
Like a bridge over troubled waters, I will ease your mind,

       A    D9   Cdim(IV)  Cdim     A
Your mind.
