Ripplin Waters – Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

D G

I’ve got ripplin’ water to wake me, to the mornin’ my woman in love,

D A

And tall pine trees are pointin’ us easily to Heaven above.

D C G

Blue spruce flamin’ on the grate in the evenin’, takes the chill a way fine,

Em B7 E

Cut the telephone line the stories the same.

D G

There’s a worn red chair by the window, that we found at a sale down the way,

D A

When some old women said that they needed more room for the winter.

D C G

People like pullin’ out the stuffin’ when they sit down, and so it passes the time;

Em B7 E

Cut the telephone line the stories the same.

CHORUS:

A E A

Oooooooh like a bubble on a windy day, start to flutter when i here you say,

B

That you feel too good to go away

E A E

And you make me feel fine, … and you’ve made my world a warmer place,

A B

By the sparklin’ of your diamond face------on a frayed spot put a little lace

E B E B

And you make me feel fine, … warm as the mountain sunshine,

E B E A--------E A G A

On the edge of the snowline, … in a meadow of columbiiiiiiiiiiines

D G

Oh little Jennifer I’d give a penny for what you’ve got on your mind,

D A

Seems like most of the time your lyin’ there dreamin’...but...

D C G

Maybe in your vision you’ll see how are mission is, slightly less than devine,

Em B7 E G A

Cut the telephone line, the stories the same.

D G

And now ripplin’ waters flow through pipes in the walls and it's keepin’ me warm,

D A

And the closest I’ve been to my family for days is my music.

D C G

But the silent stare in the morning sky, is like hearing her calling my name

Em B7 E

Cut the telephone line the story might change.

CHORUS---------E A repeat
