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


[Chorus]
                               C         
It's a handmedown the thoughts are broken
                            G     
Perhaps they're better left unsung
                   C          
I don't know don't really care
G            D     C             G  
Let there be songs ■ to fill the air


[Verse]
Am              D    
Ripple in still water
           G            C     
When there is no pebble tossed
A           D   
Nor wind to blow
               G                C       
Reach out your hand if your cup be empty
                              G    
If your cup is full may it be again
                           C       
Let it be known there is a fountain
G            D    C               G  
That was not made by the hands of men


[Chorus]
                   C             
There is a road no simple highway
                                 G    
Between the dawn and the dark of night
                 Am  C         
And if you go no one may follow
G            D   C            G    
That path is for ■ your steps alone


[Verse]
A      Am       D    
Ripple in still water
           G            C     
When there is no pebble tossed
A           D   
Nor wind to blow
        G              C          
You who choose to lead must follow
                         G    
But if you fall you fall alone
                               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


[Chorus]
