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

Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down

Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down

[ fiddle ]

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 when darkness comes and pain is all around

Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down

Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down

[ fiddle - banjo ]

Sail on country boy sail on by your time has come to shine

All your dreams are on their way

See how they shine if you need a friend I'm sailing right behind

Like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind

Like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind
