or G C C G G C C G D C G [Verse 1]
G                                     C
If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine

C                                        G
And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung

G                                        C
Would you hear my voice come through the music

C         G       D    C               G
Would you hold it near as it were your own?
[Verse 2]
G                                     C
It's a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken

C                             G
Perhaps they're better left unsung

G                          C
I don't know, don't really care

G            D     C           G
Let there be songs to fill the air
[Chorus]
Am              D
Ripple in still water

           G            C
When there is no pebble tossed

    A       D
Nor wind to blow
[Verse 3]
               G                   C
Reach out your hand if your cup be empty

C                                G
If your cup is full may it be again

G                          C
Let it be known there is a fountain

G            D    C               G
That was not made by the hands of men
[Verse 4]
G                          C
There is a road, no simple highway

C                                G
Between the dawn and the dark of night

G                        C
And if you go no one may follow

G            D   C          G
That path is for your steps alone
[Chorus]
Am              D
Ripple in still water

           G            C
When there is no pebble tossed

    A       D
Nor wind to blow
[Verse 5]
        G                   C
You who choose to lead must follow

C                          G
But if you fall you fall alone

G                                 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
[Outro Verse]
           G                C
Lat da dat da, Lah da-ah da da, da

C                                G
La da da, la da, da da da-ah, da da

G                           C
Lat da dat da, Lah da-ah da da, da

G        D   C            G
La da da da, Lah da da da da
