When you're weary, feeling small,
C G D G

When you're weary, feeling small
When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all
I'm on your side 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
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
Sail on silver girl
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
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind

(G* is a standard G chord with the high e string muted. It's only used a
few times. He doesn't actually play a chord in the recording, but this mimics
the piano accompaniment better than a full G.
C/G can be substituted with a regular C chord, but I think the full chord
sounds better.
Note how Johnny plays his Gs - the third finger is on the third fret of the
B string.
You can drop the sustain chords and just play the normal chords and it
still sounds good.)
