Ripple by Grateful Dead

G chordG C chordC
If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine
C chordC G chordG
and my tunes were played on the harp unstrung
G chordG C chordC
would you hear my voice come thru the music
G chordG D chordD C chordC G chordG
would you hold it near as it were your own


G chordG C chordC
It's a hand-me-down the thoughts are broken
C chordC G chordG
perhaps they're better left unsung
G chordG C chordC
I don't know don't really care
G chordG D chordD C chordC G chordG
let there be songs to fill the air


Am chordAm D chordD
Ripple in still water
G chordG C chordC
when there is no pebble tossed
A chordA D chordD
nor wind to blow

G chordG C chordC
Reach out your hand if your cup be empty
C chordC G chordG
if your cup is full may it be again
G chordG C chordC
let it be known there is a fountain
G chordG D chordD C chordC G chordG
that was not made by the hands of men


G chordG C chordC
There is a road no simple highway
C chordC G chordG
Between the dawn and the dark of night
G chordG C chordC
and if you go no one may follow
G chordG D chordD C chordC G chordG
that path is for your steps alone



Am chordAm D chordD
Ripple in still water
G chordG C chordC
when there is no pebble tossed
A chordA D chordD
nor wind to blow


G chordG C chordC
You who choose to lead must follow
C chordC G chordG
but if you fall you fall alone
G chordG C chordC
if you should stand then who's to guide you
G chordG D chordD C chordC G chordG
If I knew the way I would take you home
