From: [email protected] (Brent Curry) Subject: CRD:Ripple by the Grateful Dead After posting a request for Chords or Tab to Ripple I got two great responses through private e-mail. The first came from Prashant Andrade ([email protected]) Ripple by Grateful Dead>If Gmy words did glow with the gold Cof sunshine, >and Cmy tunes were played on the haGrp unstrung, >would you hear Gmy voice come thru tChe music, >would yDou hold Cit near as it were yoGur own' > >It's a hand-me-down, >the thoughts are broken, >perhaps they're better left unsung. >I don't know, don't really care, >let there be songs to fill the air. > &Amgt;Ripple iDn still water, >when there is nCo pebble tossed, >nAmor wind Dto blow. > >Reach out your hand if your cup be empty, >if your cup is full may it be again, >let it be known there is a fountain, >that was not made by the hands of men. > >There is a road, no simple highway, >Between the dawn and the dark of night, >and if you go no one may follow, >that path is for your steps alone. >Ripple in still water, >when there is no pebble tossed, >nor wind to blow. > >You who choose, to lead must follow, >but if you fall you fall alone, >if you should stand then who's to guide you' >If I knew the way I would take you home.Then I got mail from John Lockney who not only gave me the chords (which are similar to Prashant's) but he also gave me some tablature.
