Ripples Chords

Ripples    (Genesis)
 
 
[Verse]
 
       E                      B    Esus               E
     Bluegirls come in every size, some are wise and some otherwise
                B               Dm                      E
     They got pretty blue eyes, for an hour a man may change
     Dm                            C              D              G
     For an hour her face looks strange, looks strange, looks strange
 
      E                        B
     Marching to the promised land
               Esus             E
     Where the honey flows and takes you by the hand
                B                   Dm                         E
     Pulls you down on your knees, while you're down a pool appears
 
         Cdim                    Em           Cdim                     C
     The face in the water looks up, and she shakes her head as if to say
                    D                            B
     That it's the last time you'll look like today
 
 
[Chorus]
 
     Amaj7        B   E(add9)            E
     Sail away, away, ripples never come back
     F#m               F#sus  F#  Amaj7        B     E
     Gone to the other side,      sail away, away
 
 
[Verse]
 
          E                              B
     The face that launched a thousand ships
        Esus               E
     Is sinking fast that happens you know
          B                 Dm                   E
     The water gets below, seems not very long ago
     Dm                    C     D      G
     Lovelier she was than any that I know
 
      E                      B       Esus                 E
     Angels never know it's time, to close the book and gracefully decline
          B                     Dm                         E
     The song has found a tale, my what a jealous pool is she
 
         Cdim                    Em       Cdim                     C
     The face in the water looks up, she shakes her head as if to say
                D                       B
     That the bluegirls have all gone away
 
 
[Chorus]
 
     Amaj7        B   E(add9)            E
     Sail away, away, ripples never come back
             F#m               F#sus    F#
     They've gone to the other side
 
     Amaj7          B    E(add9)            E
     Look into the pool, ripples never come back
     F#m                                     F#sus                 F#
     Dive to the bottom and go to the top, to see where they have gone
                Amaj7              B    E(add9)            E
     Oh they've gone to the other side, ripples never come back
     F#m        F#sus    F#
     Sail away, away
     Amaj7        B   E(add9)            E
     Sail away, away, ripples never come back
