Pluck an open B string in between all the Fmaj7 and F#dim's in the chorus (bridge over)
There is a hammer-on on the c chords for the verses

Verse:
           C      F              C F
When you're weary, feeling small
               C       F
When tears are in your eyes
     C Csus4 C Csus4 C
I'll dry them all
    C/B      G5
I'm on your side
                  C   C/B  C7/Bb
Oh when times get rough
                 Fmaj7 D7 G5
And friends just can't be found


Chorus:

       Fmaj7  F#dim C       Am7   Fmaj7
Like a bridge over troubled water
       E7     Am7
I will lay me down
C      Fmaj7  F#dim C       Am7
Like a bridge over troubled water
Fmaj7  G5     C   F  C  F
I will lay me down


Verse:
           C             F                   C     F
When you're down and out, when you're on the street
             C        F
When evening falls so hard
       C Csus4 C Csus4 C
I will comfort you
     C/B       G5
I'll take your part
                 C   C/B  C7/Bb
Oh when darkness comes
           Fmaj7 D7 G5
And pain is all around


Chorus:

       Fmaj7  F#dim C       Am7   Fmaj7
Like a bridge over troubled water
       E7     Am7
I will lay me down
C      Fmaj7  F#dim C       Am7
Like a bridge over troubled water
Fmaj7  E7
I will lay me down
