                          Ripplin' Water
                      Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
[Verse 1]
I've got ripDplin water to wake me, to the mornin my woman in lGove,
And tall pine trees are are pDointen us easily to hAeaven above.
BDlue spruce flamin on the grate in the evenin, Ctakes the chill a way Gfine,
EmCut the telephone lB7ine the stories the sEame.
There's a wDorn red chair by the window, that we found at a sale down the Gway,
When some old women said that they neDeded more room for the wiAnter.
But peDople like pullen out the stuffin when they sit down, and sCo it passes the Gtime;
EmCut the telephone lB7ine the stories the saEme.
[Chorus]
OooAooooh like a bubble on a windy dEay, start to flutter when i here ya sAay,
That you feel to good to go B7away
And you mEake me feel fine, Aand you've made my world a warmer plEace,
By the sparklin of your diamond faceA------on a frayed spot put a little lB7ace
And you mEake me feel fineB7, warm as the mouEntain sunshineB,
                          E         B7                     EA--------E  A   G  A  
On the edge of the snowline, in a meadow of columbiiiiiiiiiiines
[Verse 2]
DOh little Jennifer I'd give a penny for whatcha got on your mGind,
Seems  like most of the tDime your lyin there dreAamin...but...
MaDybe in your vision you'll see how are mission isC, slightly less than deGvine,
                 Em                      B7E--------G A  
Cut the telephone line, the stories the same.
And now ripDplin waters flow through pipes in the walls and it's keepin me wGarm,
And the closest I've been to my faDmily for days is my muAsic.
But the siDlent stare in the mornin' sky, is like heCarin her callin my nGame
EmYou cut the telephone lB7ine the story might--- chEange. CHORUS---------E A repeat END
