Introdução: A D A D 
                
             A    D           
When you weary 
A                      D 
Feeling small.     
      G    D    A       Bm          
When tears are in your eyes 
          A          D 
I will dry them all 
A              E7      
 I on your side  
                          A    A7         
Oh, when times get rough.  
                  D    B7    E7 
And friends just can be found 
  A7     D     Cdim   A       F#m     
Like a bridge over troubled water 
       D        C#7     F#m 
I will lay me down 
  A7     D     Cdim   A       F#m      
Like a bridge over troubled water 
        D         Dm6   A   D A D 
I will lay me down 
             A          D                 
When you down and out   
                        A 
When you on the street 
D         G  D    A       Bm           
When the evening falls so hard 
               A          D A 
I will confort you 
                   E7          
I will take your part  
                     A    A7          
On, when darkness comes 
                 D   B7  E7 
And pain is all around 
  A7     D     Cdim   A       F#m     
Like a bridge over troubled water 
       D        C#7     F#m 
I will lay me down 
  A7     D     Cdim   A       F#m      
Like a bridge over troubled water 
        D         Dm6   A   D A D 
I will lay me down 
D         A          D            A D 
Sail on silver girl. Sail on by 
      G  D    A      Bm 
Your time has come to shine  
        A                  D  A 
All your dreams are on their way  
               E7 
See how they shine  
                    A    A7        
Oh, if you need a friend 
                      D    B7    E7 
I sailing right behind     
 A7    D       Cdim A         F#m     
Like a bridge over troubled water 
           D       C#7         F#m 
I will ease your mind 
 A7     D     Cdim  A         F#m     
Like a bridge over troubled water 
        D        C#7 F#m 
 I will ease your 
            B7 A E7 D A 
Oh    mind
