If my words did [G] glow, | with the gold of [C] sunshine [C]
And my [C] tunes, were | played, on the | harp un- [G] strung
Would you hear my [G] voice, | come through the [C] music [C]
Would you [G] hold it [D] near [C] as it were your [G] own?

It's a hand me [G] down, | the thou- oughts are [C] broken [C]
Per- [C] haps, they're | better | left un- [G] sung
I don't [G] know, | don't really [C] ca- are [C]
[G] Let there be [D] songs [C] to fill the [G] air [G]

Chorus
[Am] Ripple | in still [D] water [D]
When there [G] is no pebble [C] tossed
Nor [A] wind to [D] blow

Reach out your [G] hand, if your cup be [C] empty
If your [C] cup, is full, may it be a- [G] gain
Let it be [G] known, there is a [C] fountain  [C]
[G] That was not [D] made [C] by the hands of [G] men

There is a [G] road, no simple [C] highway
Be- [C] tween the dawn and the dark of [G] night
And if you [G] go no one may [C] follow
[G] That path is [D] for [C] your steps [G] alone [G]

Chorus
[Am] Ripple | in still [D] water [D]
When there [G] is no pebble [C] tossed
Nor [A] wind to [D] blow

You who [G] choose to lead must [C] follow
But [C] if you fall you fall a- [G] lone
If you should [G] stand then who's to [C] guide you?
[G] If I knew the [D] way [C] I would take you [G] home

La da da [G] da, La da a da [C] daa da
