John Denver – Ripplin Waters (Guitar)

            D
I've got rippling waters to wake me

       D7                     G
To the mornin', my woman, and love

                     D                       A7
Tall pine trees are pointin' us easily to heaven above

D
Blue spruce flaming on the grate in the evenin'

C                     G
Takes the chill away fine

Em                  B7
Cut the telephone line

                   E
The story's the same

D
There's a worn red chair by the window

          D7                       G
That she found at a sale down the way

           G
When some old women said that they

   D                    A7
Needed more room for winter

D
People like pulling at the stuffin' when they sit down

C                G
So it passes the time

Em                 B7
Cut the telephone line

                  E
The story's the same

A                             E
Ooh, like a bubble on a windy day

                                  A
Start to flutter when I hear you say

                              B7
That you feel too good to go away

         E
And you make me feel fine

   A                               E
And you made the world a warmer place

                                 A
By the sparkle of your diamond face

                               B7
On a gray spot with a little lace

         E              B7
And you make me feel fine

            E              B7
Warm as a mountains in sunshine

         E                B7
On the edge of the snowline

          E           A     G  A7
In a meadow of columbine

         D
Oh, little Jennifer I'd give a penny for

         D7               G
What you've got on your mind

      D                                        A7
Seems like most of the time you're lying there dreaming

D
Maybe in your vision you'll see how

                  C                 G
Our mission is slightly less than divine

Em                   B7                  E
Cut the telephone line, the story's the same

  D
Now, rippling waters that flow through the ceiling

          D7                         G
And the walls that are keepin' me warm

         G                               D            A7
And the closest I've been to family for days is my music

              D
But the silently stare in the morning sky

         C                      G
Is like hearing her calling my name

Em                  B7                      E
Cut the telephone line, the story might change

A                             E
Ooh, like a bubble on a windy day

                                 A
Start to flutter when I hear you say

                               B7
That you feel too good to go away

         E              B7
And you make me feel fine

            E               B7
Warm as a mountains in sunshine

        E                B7
On the edge of the snowline

       E              A         G    A7
In a meadow of columbine
