Paul Simon's DNC performance generated a lot of social-media busyness....it's the thought that counts hopefully.

I should have been more specific, Derry N Ireland
There are a group of >50 Syrian refugees here, getting on well so far, though they must be worried about friends and family in Syria and surrounding countries.

a group in Derry are practicing an Arabic translation of this song
I could maybe get a copy of the lyrics, but I don't write in Arabic and I'd be mistrustful of transliteration

What about the Manchester version ... "Trouble over Bridgewater"?

Thanks Joe, what a star! Trust the Dems pull themselves together.

The song is more suited to the vocal range of Art Garfunkel, but Paul Simon did a moving performance of the song tonight at the Democratic National Convention:

Let me point out that this is a copyrighted song, and the sheet music should be purchased, not pirated.

OOPS!!! Sorry, Spaw! Thanks a lot for the help! And that goes for you too, Sorcha

While Sorcha looks for the dots, let me apologize for being abrupt. Firecat, when I read your post it was one of those that just get to me sometimes. We get a ton of requests for songs that are easy to find with very little work. First I ran a quick search on the Forum and DT Search and got it which is simple. Enter a phrase of short word group and you'll get the hits. Same is true with a search engine such as Google which gave me pages of hits, although I don't recall the number. I posted one and was going to come back and explain how to search the forum and DT, but as Sorch already posted that, then let me add this.

Read the FAQ. There is an excellent section on searching the DT as well as the forum. There is also a list of Singer/Songwriter links as well as the regular links section of the 'Cat where you can find tons of other lyrics sites. Were this an obscure song, I guess it wouldn't bother me and if you were not a member, even less. But one of the things a lot of us do and the reason we're here in reality, is to search and find and post lyrics, especially those that are difficult to find. This one isn't and it behooves most members to have a look before they ask.

Okay......Seems like a lecture....and I guess it is. No offense intended or meant here, just a suggestion that maybe we could all use now and then. Learn how to do the searches and you can save yourself a lot of time as well as being able to aid guests who are looking for them too.

Chords here, but no actual melody line. There is probably a MIDI out there, but my sound driver is broke, so I can't tell!

Any easy search will find you the lyrics......like on this page

I'm not sure if this counts as a folk song, but I was watching Popstars and they were doing Bridge Over Troubled Water. Please could somebody give me the dots and lyrics??

Thanks a million!

BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATERS [DT lyrics]
(Paul Simon)

(C) C F C / F C F G7 C Am C / C G C G G7 C Am
C F D G / C G F G7 C Am F E Am

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, 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
