Ripple (most do in G)

Ripple (Grateful Dead and most others do it in G)
I've also made an “Audacity Harp Tabs” video for Ripple. The video presents the lyrics, music and tabs all together. The link to this video is:

[Verse 1]
 5  5   5   -5   6    7    7  8 -8  8  7  -6
If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine

 6  -6   7    -8    7     6  -6  7   -6   6
And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung,

  5    5    5  -5   6     7    8 -8   8   7 -6 
Would you hear my voice come through the music?

  7   -8    8   -9   -8   -6  7   7   -8   7   
Would you hold  it  near  as it were your own?


[Verse 2]
 5   5   5  -5   6    7   8  -8    8  7  -6
It's a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken,

-6   7    -8    7  -6    7  -6   6
Perhaps they're better left unsung.

5  -5     6    7    8 -8 8  7 -6
I don't know, don't really  care

 8    8   -9  -8   -6   7  -8   7 
Let there be songs to fill the air.


[Chorus]
-8  7  -8   -7 -7-6 6   -6   -7    7 
Ripple in still water, When there is 

-8   7  6   -6      7    7  -6   6
no  pebble tossed, Nor wind to blow.


[Verse 3]
5      5   -5    6   7   7  8-8  8  7 -6
Reach out your hand if your cup be empty,

 6  -6   7  -8   7   6  -6  7 -6  6                    
If your cup is full may it be again,

 5   5 -5    6    7  8-8 8  7  -6   
Let it be known there is a fountain,

 8    8  -9  -8   -6  7    7   -8  7      
That was not made by the hand  of man.


[Verse 4]
  5    5 -5   6    7  8 -8  8   7  -6     
There is  a road, no  s-im-ple highway,

-6   7  -8    7   6  -6   7   -6   6                
Between the dawn and the dark of night,


 5   5  -5  6  7  8-8  8   7  -6
And if you go no  one may fol-low,


  8    8  -9  -8  -6    7  -8  7     
That path is for your steps alone.


[Chorus]
-8  7  -8   -7 -7-6 6     -6   -7    7 
Ripple in still water,   When there is 


-8   7  6   -6       7    7  -6   6
no  pebble tossed   Nor wind to blow.
 
 
[Verse 5]
 5   -5    6     7  8-8   8    7  -6  
You, who choose to lead, must fol-low

-6   7  -8   7  -6   7  -6   6       
But if you fall you fall a-lone.

 5  5   -5      6    7   8 -8   8   7   -6     
If you should stand then who's to guide you?

 8 8   8  -9  -8 -6   7     7  -8    7    
If I knew the way I would take you home.


[Outro]
 5  5   5  -5   6    6   8 -8    8   7   -6
Laden  da  da  da   La  da-ah   da  da   da

 6  -6   7    -8  7    6  -6   7  -6    6

  5  5    5  -5   6     6    8 -8  8  7  -6      
Lad-en   da  da  da    La   da-ah da da  da


 8  8   8  -9  -8    -6   7   7    -8    7
