Ripples�?� Genesis
Ripples (Genesis) legend: 7+ = maj7, +7 = add7, -1 = sub1
Bl[E/B]uegirls come in every [B7+]size, [Bsus]some are wise [+7]and s[E/B]ome otherw[+9-1]ise
They got pr[G#m7]etty blue eyes, [Dm6]for an hour a man may ch[E/D]ange
[Dm6]For an hour her face looks str[C]ange, looks str[D]ange, looks str[G]ange
M[E]arching to the promised l[B7+]and
Where the [Bsus7/E]honey flows and ta[E]kes you [A/E]by the h[E]and[A/E]
Pulls you d[G#m7]own on your knees, w[Dm6]hile you're down a pool app[E/D]ears
The [Cdim/Eb]face in the water looks [Em]up, and she s[Adim/F#]hakes her head as if to s[C/G]ay
That it's the l[D/C]ast time you'll look like tod[Bsus7]ay[B7]
Chorus:
[A7+]Sail away, a[B/A]way, r[E7+]ipples never come b[E7/D]ack
[F#m7]Gone to the other [F#sus]side, [F#] [A7+]sail away, [B/A]away[E]
The face that launched a thousand ships
Is sinking fast that happens you know
The water gets below, seems not very long ago
Lovelier she was than any that I know
Angels never know it's time, to close the book and gracefully decline
The song has found a tale, my what a jealous pool is she
The face in the water looks up, she shakes her head as if to say
That the bluegirls have all gone away
Chorus:
[A7+]Sail away, a[B/A]way, r[E7+]ipples never come b[E7/D]ack
They've [F#m7]gone to the other [F#sus]side[F#]
[A7+]Look into the p[B/A]ool, r[E7+]ipples never come b[E7/D]ack
[F#m7]Dive to the bottom and go to the top, to[F#sus] see where they have g[F#]one
1. Oh they've g[A7+]one to the other s[B/A]ide [E]
