Tab
I transposed this 4 semitones up, original key should be Ab.

4 4 -4 -3 3
When you're weary
4 -5 -4
Feeling small
6 -6 6 -5 7 6
When tears are in your eyes
6 -5 -4 -3 3 
I will dry them all

-4 -3 3 -3
I'm on your side
-5 -5 -4 -3 3 3 -3 -4
When times get rough
-5 -8 -7 7 -7 -7 
And friends just can't be found
-8 -7 7 -6* 6 6 -5 -4 -5
Like a bridge over troubled water
6 7 -7 -8 7 
I will lay me down
-8 -7 7 -6* 6 6 -5 -4 -5
Like a bridge over troubled water
6 7 -7 -8 7 
I will lay me down

Second verse is played almost exactly like the first:

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 

Third verse is different:

4 4 -4 -3 3
Sail on Silver Girl,
4 -5 -4
Sail on by
6 -6 6 -5 7 6 
Your time has come to shine
6 6 -5 6 -5 -4 3 
All your dreams are on their way

-4 -3 3-3
See how they shine
-5 -5 -4 -3 3 3 -3 -4
If you need a friend
-5 -8 -7 7 -7 -7 
I'm sailing right behind
-8 -7 7 -6* 6 6 -5 6 7
Like a bridge over troubled water
7 -7 7 -6* 7
I will ease your mind
-8 -7 8 -8 -7 -8 8 -8 -7 7 
Like a bridge over troubled water
8 8 -8 -7 -8 -7 7
I will ease your mind
Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
