::Verse 1::
If my words did[G] glow with the gold of[C] sunshine
And my tunes were played on the harp u[G]nstrung,
Would you hear my voice come through the[C] music?
Would you[G] hold it[D] near[C] as it were your[G] own?
It's a hand-me-dow[G]n, the thoughts are[C] broken;
Perhaps they're better left [G]unsung.
I don't know, don't really [C]care.
Let [G]there be[D] song[C]s to fill the ai[G]r.
::Chorus::

[Am]Ripple in still [D]water, when there [G]is no pebble [C]tossed,
Nor[A] wind t[D]o blow.
::Verse 2::
Reach out your [G]hand if your cup be[C] empty,
If your cup is full may it be [G]again.
Let it be known there is a [C]fountain
T[G]hat was not[D] made[C] by the hands of[G] men.
There is a[G] road, no simple[C] highway,
Between the dawn and the dark of [G]night,
And if you go, no one may [C]follow,
Tha[G]t path i[D]s for[C] your step[G]s alone.
::CHORUS::
E||--5~--3-5-3--5-2-0----0-2-3-5-3---0--3-3-0------|| A||-------------------5------------5----------2-5--|| D||------------------------------------------------|| G||------------------------------------------------||
[Am]Ripple in still [D]water, when there [G]is no pebble [C]tossed,
Nor[A] wind t[D]o blow.
::Verse 3::
You who choos[G]e to lead must f[C]ollow,
But if you fall, you fall [G]alone.
If you should stand, then who's to guide[C] you?
If [G]I knew the [D]way [C]I would take you [G]home.
La da da da da,
La da da da da,
Da da da da, da da, da da da da da.
La da da da,
La da da da da,
La da da da,
La da da da da.
