RIPPLE - Grateful Dead (Calypso strum) D G

If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine

G D

And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung

D G

Would you hear my voice come through the music

G D A G D

Would you hold it near as it were your own?

D G

It's a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken

G D

Perhaps they're better left unsung

D G

I don't know, don't really care

D A G D

Let there be songs to fill the air

-Chorus-

Em A

Ripple in still water

D G

When there is no pebble tossed

E7 A

Nor wind to blow

D G

Reach out your hand if your cup be empty

G D

If your cup is full may it be again

D G

Let it be known there is a fountain

D A G D

That was not made by the hands of men

D G

There is a road, no simple highway

G D

Between the dawn and the dark of night

D G

And if you go no one may follow

D A G D

That path is for your steps alone

-Chorus-

D G

You who choose to lead must follow

G D

But if you fall you fall alone

D G

If you should stand then who's to guide you?

D A G D

If I knew the way I would take you home

Rose Tattoo chords by Dropkick MurphysCHORDS

Am CThe pictures tell the story,This life has many shades G AmI’d wake up every morning and before I’d start each day Am CI’d take a drag from last nights cigarette that smoldered in it’s tray G DmDown a little something and then be on my way Am CI traveled far and wide, And laid this head in many ports

G AmI was guided by a compass, I saw beauty to the north Am CI drew the tales of many lives, And wore the faces of my own

G DmI had these memories all around me, so I wouldn’t be alone [Pre-chorus] C GSome may be from showing up Others are from growing up Dm AmSometimes I was so messed up and didn’t have a clue

C GI ain’t winning no one over, I wear it just for you

Dm AmI’ve got your name written here in a rose tattoo [Chorus] Am CIn a rose tattoo, In a rose tattoo

Dm G AmI’ve got your name written here in a rose tattoo

Am CThis ones for the mighty sea , mischief, gold and piracy G AmThis ones for the man that raised me, taught me sacrifice and bravery Am CThis ones for our favorite game , Black and gold, we wave the flag G DmThis ones for my family name , with pride I wear it to the grave

PrechorusChorus

F CThis one means the most to me Stays here for eternity G AmA ship that always stays the course An anchor for my every choice F CA rose that shines down from above I signed and sealed these words in blood G GI heard them once, sung in a song It played again and we sang along

Am/ C/You’ll always be there with me Even if you’re goneG/ Dm/You’ll always have my love Our memory will live on

PrechorusChorus

Am CIn a rose tattoo, In a rose tattoo

Dm G AmWith pride I’ll wear it to the grave for you Am CIn a rose tattoo, In a rose tattoo

The Two Trees- Yeats & Loreena McKennitt

Intro: Am (single strum)

Am Am G C

Beloved, gaze in thine own heart

F C G Am

The holy tree is growing there

Am Am G C

From joy the holy branches start

F C G Am(X4)

And all the trembling flowers they bear

Am Am G C

The changing colors of its fruit

F C G Am

Have dowered the stars with merry light

Am Am G C

The surety of its hidden root

F C G Am

Has planted quiet in the night

F C G Am

The shaking of its leafy head

F C G Am

Has given the waves their melody

F C G Am

And made my lips and music wed

F C G Am(X4)

Murmuring a wizard song for thee

Am Am G C

There the Loves a circle go

F C G Am

The flaming circle of our days

Am Am G C

Gyring, spiring to and fro

F C G Am

In those great ignorant leafy ways

F C G Am

Remembering all that shaken hair

F C G Am

And how the wing-ed sandals dart

F C G Am

Thine eyes grow full of tender care

F C G Am(X4)

Beloved, gaze in thine own heart

Am Am G C

Gaze no more in the bitter glass

F C G Am

The demons with their subtle guile

Am Am G C

Lift up before us when they pass

F C G Am

Or only gaze a little while

F C G Am

For there a fatal image grows

F C G Am

That the stormy night receives

F C G Am

Roots half hidden under snows

F C G Am(X4)

Broken boughs and blackened leaves

Am Am G C

For all things turn to barrenness

F C G Am

In the dim glass the demons hold

Am Am G C

The glass of outer weariness

F C G Am

Made when God slept in times of old

F C G Am

There, through the broken branches, go

F C G Am

The ravens of un-resting thought

F C G Am

Flying, crying, to and fro

F C G Am

Cruel claw and hungry throat

F C G Am

Or else they stand and sniff the wind

F C G Am

And shake their ragged wings,alas!

F C G Am

Thy tender eyes grow all unkind

F C G Am(X4)

Gaze no more in the bitter glass

Am Am G C

Beloved, gaze in thine own heart

F C G Am

The holy tree is growing there

Am Am G C

From joy the holy branches start

F C G Am

And all the trembling branches bear

F C G Am

Remembering all that shaken hair

F C G Am

And how the wing-ed sandals dart

F C G Am

Thine eyes grow full of tender care

F C G G Am Am Am*

Beloved, gaze in thine own heart.

Some say [C] love it is a [G7] river That [F]drowns the [G] tender [C] reed Some say [C] love it is a [G7] razor That [F] leads your [G] soul to [C] bleed Some say [Em7] love it is a [Am] hunger [Am7] An [F] endless aching [G7] need I say [C] love it is a [G7] flower And [F] you [G7] its only [C]seed

It's the [C] heart afraid of [G7] breaking That [F] never [G7] learns to [C] dance It's the [C] dream afraid of [G7] waking That [F] never [G7] takes a [C] chance It's the [Em7] one who won't be [Am] taken [Am7] Who [F] cannot seem to [G7] give And the [C] soul afraid of [G7] dying That [F] never [G7] learns to [C] live

When the [C] night has been too [G7] lonely And the [F] road has [G7] been too [C] long And you [C] find that love is [G7] only For the [F] lucky [G7] and the [C] strong Just re[Em7]member in the [Am] winter [Am7] For be[F]neath the bitter [G7] snow Lies the [C] seed that with the [G7] sun's love In the [F] spring [G7] becomes the [C] rose

WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD 4/4 1234 12

I see trees of green, red roses too. I see them bloom for me and for you

And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

I see skies of blue, clouds of white, bright blessed day, dark sacred night

And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky are also on the faces of people going by

I see friends shaking hands, saying, “How do you do?”

They’re really saying, “I love you.”

I hear babies cry; I watch them grow, they’ll learn much more than I’ll ever know.

And I think to myself, what a wonderful world.

Yes, I think to myself, what a wonderful world.
