[Intro]

[Verse 1]

            D      G
When you're weary, 
        D      G
feeling small,
     C/G   G   D         G
When tears are in your eyes,
         D        G  D
I will dry them all,
     A  G*  A     A7              Asus2  D      Dsus2 D7
I'm on your side. Oohh when times get    rough,
            D7sus2  G      E   A
And friends just    can't  be  found.


[Chorus 1]

D7    D7sus2   G        A7sus2     D        Bm     G
Like  a       bridge ov-er         troubled water,
        A7      D
I will lay me down.
D7    D7sus2   G        A7sus2     D        Bm     G
Like  a       bridge ov-er         troubled water,
        A7      D
I will lay me down.

[Verse 2]
                     D     G      
When you're down and out,
D                            G
  When you're on the streets,
     C/G   G    D        G
When eve - ning falls so hard
D        G         D
  I will comfort you.
     A    G*   A       A7
I'll take your   part.
          Asus2  D        Dsus2 D7
When dark-ness     comes
         D7sus2  G   E   A
And pain is      all a-round,


[Chorus 2]

D7    D7sus2   G        A7sus2     D        Bm     G
Like  a       bridge ov-er         troubled water,
       A7       D
I will lay me down.
D7    D7sus2   G        A7sus2     D        Bm     G
Like  a       bridge ov-er         troubled water,
       A7       D
I will lay me down.

Your time  has come to shine.

All your dreams are on their way.
