Ripples by Genesis
Ripples
E B Esus4 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
Esus4 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
Amaj7 B E(add F#) E
Sail away, away, ripples never come back
F#m F#sus F# Amaj7 B E
Gone to the other side, sail away, away
E B
The face that launched a thousand ships
Esus4 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 Esus4 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
Amaj7 B E(add F#) E
Sail away, away, ripples never come back
F#m F#sus F#
They've gone to the other side
Amaj7 B E(add F#) 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(add F#) E
Oh they've gone to the other side, ripples never come back
F#m F#sus F#
Sail away, away
Amaj7 B E(add F#) E
Sail away, away, ripples never come back
