Guitar chords with lyrics

After posting a request for Chords or Tab to Ripple I got two
great responses through private e-mail.  The first came from
Prashant Andrade  (andrade@elm.circa.ufl.edu)

Ripple by Grateful Dead

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.
