Ripple  Grateful Dead



>If my [G]words did glow with the gold of [C]sunshine,
>and my [C]tunes were played on the harp [G]unstrung,
>would you hear my [G]voice come thru the [C]music,
>would you [D]hold it [C]near as it were your [G]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]Ripple in s[D]till water,
>when there is no p[C]ebble tossed,
>nor [Am]wind to [D]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.

If my words did g[G]low
with the gold of s[C]unshine
and my tunes, were played
on the harp un[G]strung
