ripple chords
grateful dead ( american beauty )

G C G C G D C G

G C
if my words did glow , with the gold of sunshine
G
and my tunes , were played , on the harp unstrung
C
would you hear my voice , come through the music?
G D C G
would you hold it near , as it were your own?

G C
it’s a hand – me – down , the thoughts are broken
G
perhaps they’re better left unsung
C
i don’t know , don’t really care
G D C G
let there be songs , to fill the air

Am D
ripple in still water ,
G C
when there is no pebble tossed ,
A D
nor wind to blow

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

G C
there is a road , no simple highway
G
between the dawn , and the dark of night
C
and if you go , no one may follow
G D C G
that path is for , your steps alone

Am D
ripple in still water ,
G C
when there is no pebble tossed ,
A D
nor wind to blow

G C
you who choose , to lead must follow
G
but if you fall , you fall alone
C
if you should stand , then who’s to guide you?
G D C G
if i knew the way , i would take you home
