Bridge Over Troubled Water Sheet Music
Bridge Over Troubled Water Sheet Music
If you listen carefully to the lyrics in the original recording by Simon & Garfunkel, this song pulls on your heart strings as it refers to self-sacrificial love when you need it the most. This is a song that we as harp players can play for others to bring them peace and to show them love through music. Christy-Lyn’s arrangement brings in some of the interesting chords that make this song unique, while limiting the lever changes to only the most necessary ones. The melody and left hand accompaniment are quite simple but still bring across the emotions of the song. Â
