Ripples (Genesis) legend: 7+ = maj7, +7 = add7, -1 = sub1
E/B B7 Bsus4 +7 E/B +9-1
Bluegirls come in every size, some are wise and some otherwise
Abm7 Dm6 E/D
They got pretty blue eyes, for an hour a man may change
Dm6 C D G
For an hour her face looks strange, looks strange, looks strange
E B7
Marching to the promised land
Bsus7/E E A/E E A/E
Where the honey flows and takes you by the hand
Abm7 Dm6 E/D
Pulls you down on your knees, while you're down a pool appears
Cdim/Eb Em Adim/F# C/G
The face in the water looks up, and she shakes her head as if to say
D/C Bsus7 B7
That it's the last time you'll look like today
Chorus:
A7 B/A E7 E7/D
Sail away, away, ripples never come back
F#m7 F#sus F# A7 B/A E
Gone to the other side, sail away, away
The face that launched a thousand ships
Is sinking fast that happens you know
The water gets below, seems not very long ago
Lovelier she was than any that I know
Angels never know it's time, to close the book and gracefully decline
The song has found a tale, my what a jealous pool is she
The face in the water looks up, she shakes her head as if to say
That the bluegirls have all gone away
Chorus:
A7 B/A E7 E7/D
Sail away, away, ripples never come back
F#m7 F#sus F#
They've gone to the other side
A7 B/A E7 E7/D
Look into the pool, ripples never come back
F#m7 F#sus F#
Dive to the bottom and go to the top, to see where they have gone
A7 B/A E
