If my words did [G] glow, | with the gold of [C] sunshine [C]

It's a hand me [G] down, | the thou- oughts are [C] broken [C]

Let it be [G] known, there is a [C] fountain  [C]

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]

[Am] Ripple | in still [D] water [D]
When there [G] is no pebble [C] tossed

You who [G] choose to lead must [C] follow

If you should [G] stand then who's to [C] guide you?
