How to for beginner guitarists "Ripple" Includes practice tips

Hoping to be helpful once more, I bring you "Ripple" by The Grateful Dead.

Everyone should thank Craigarrr who finally goaded me into making another tutorial vid with his endless patience!

"Ripple"




If my words could (G)glow with the glow of (C)sunshine

And my tunes were played on the harp un-(G)strung

Would you hear my voice come through the (C)music?

Would you (G)hold it (D)near (C)as if it were your (G)own?

It's a hand-me-down; the thoughts are (C)broken

Perhaps they're better left un-(G)sung.

I don't know; don't really (C)care

(G)Let there be (D)songs (C)to fill the (G)air


*chorus:
(Am) Ripple in still (D)water

Where there (G)is no pebble (C)tossed

Nor (A)wind to (D)blow


Reach out your (G)hand if your cup is (C)empty

If your cup is full, may it be a-(G)gain

Let it be known, there is a (C)fountain

(G)That was not (D)made (C) by the hand of (G)men

There is a road, no simple (C)highway

Between the dawn and the dark of (G)night

And if you go no one may (C)guide you

(G)That path is (D)for (C)your steps (G)alone

to chorus *

You must (G)choose to lead or (C)follow

But if you fall you fall (G)alone

And if you stand then who's to (C)guide you?

(G)If I knew the (D)way, (C)I would take you (G)home

Verse chords over la-n-da-da-daa to end!



Peace!
