🎸 Verse 1:

E                                     A
If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine
A                                        E
And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung
E                                        A
Would you hear my voice come through the music
E                 B    A               E
Would you hold it near as if it were your own?

🎸 Verse 2:

E                                     A
It's a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken
A                             E
Perhaps they're better left unsung
E                          A
I don't know, don't really care
E            B     A           E
Let there be songs to fill the air


🎸 Chorus:

F#m              B
Ripple in still water
           E            A
When there is no pebble tossed
    F#7       B
Nor wind to blow


🎸 Verse 3:
               E                   A
Reach out your hand if your cup be empty
A                               E
If your cup is full may it be again
E                         A
Let it be known there is a fountain
E            B    A               E
That was not made by the hands of men


🎸 Verse 4:
E                          A
There is a road, no simple highway
A                                E
Between the dawn and the dark of night
E             E7      A
And if you go no one may follow
E            B   A          E
That path is for your steps alone


🎸 Chorus:

F#m              B
Ripple in still water
           E            A
When there is no pebble tossed
    F#7       B
Nor wind to blow


🎸 Verse 5:

        E             A
You who choose to lead must follow
A                          E
But if you fall you fall alone
E                                A
If you should stand then who's to guide you?
E             B   A                E
If I knew the way I would take you home
