Ripple by Grateful Dead
G C
If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine
C G
and my tunes were played on the harp unstrung
G C
would you hear my voice come thru the music
D C G
would you hold it near as it were your own
It's a hand-me-down
the thoughts are broken
perhaps they're better left unsung
I don't know don't really care
let there be songs to fill the air
Am D
Ripple in still water
C
when there is no pebble tossed
Am D
nor wind to blow
Reach out your hand if your cup be empty
if your cup is full may it be again
let it be known there is a fountain
that was not made by the hands of men
There is a road no simple highway
Between the dawn and the dark of night
and if you go no one may follow
that path is for your steps alone
Ripple in still water
when there is no pebble tossed
nor wind to blow
You who choose to lead must follow
but if you fall you fall alone
if you should stand then who's to guide you
If I knew the way I would take you home
Then I got mail from John Lockney who not only gave me the chords
which are similar to Prashant's but he also gave me some tablature
