Ripples

	  		 
       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 
 
     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 
 
          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 
 
     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
