Hard To Say Goodbye By Jim Kenyon

[Am] You can’t chain down the whistling wind

[C] You can’t stop the changing of ocean tides

You [F] can’t hold onto fleeting shadows

And you [G]can’t touch stars [F]up in the [C]sky

[Am] You can’t stop a river from flowing on

[C] You can’t grab lightning up in the sky

You [F] can’t rush the night or morning dawn

And you [G] can’t stop the years from [F] rolling [C] by

[F] I know that she’ll be leaving soon

I can[C] see her dreams in her eyes

[F] Gotta let her go, I gotta let her go,

oh I [G]never have [F]liked to say good[C]bye

[Am] You can’t drink wine from an empty glass

[C] You can’t count grains of sand on a beach

You [F] can’t go forward ‘til you let go the past

And you[G] can’t hold back a heart that [F]yearns to be [C]free

[F] I know that she’ll be leaving soon

I can[C] see her dreams in her eyes

[F] Gotta let her go, I gotta let her go,

oh I [G]never thought I’d [F]have to say good[C]bye

[Am] you can’t cage a bird that’s meant to fly

[C] you know you can’t turn water into wine

You [F] can't stop a dreamer reaching for the sky

And you [G] can’t change a soul [F] destined to [C] shine

[F] I know that she’ll be leaving soon

I can[C] see her dreams in her eyes

[F] Gotta let her go, I gotta let her go,

oh It's[G] so damn hard to [F]say good[C]bye

[G] it’s so damn hard to [F]say good[C]bye

[G] it’s so damn hard to [F]say good[C]bye

[G] it’s so damn hard to [F]say good[C]bye
