INTRO: VERSE CHORDS

G                                       C
If my words could glow with the glow of sunshine
C                                      G
And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung
G                                        C
Would you hear my voice come through the music?
          G       D       C               G
Would you hold it near as if it were your own?

G                                      C	
It's a hand-me-down - the thoughts are broken
C                             G
Perhaps they're better left unsung
        G                   C
I don't know - don't really care
G            D     C           G
Let there be songs to fill the air

Am              D
Ripple in still water
            G            C
Where there is no pebble tossed
    A       D
Nor wind to blow

               G                   C
Reach out your hand if your cup is empty
C                               G
If your cup is full, may it be again
          G                C
Let it be known there is a fountain
G            D    C              G	
That was not made by the hand of men
 
           G              C
There is a road no simple highway
C                                G
Between the dawn and the dark of night
G                        C
And if you go no one may guide you
G            D   C          G
That path is for your steps alone

Am              D
Ripple in still water
            G            C
Where there is no pebble tossed
    A       D
Nor wind to blow

         G                 C
You must choose to lead or follow
C                          G
But if you fall, you fall alone
           G                   C
And if you stand then who's to guide you?
G             D    C                G
If I knew the way, I would take you home
