Topic: "I Have To Let Her Go"

This is the last of the 4 songs I wrote for the lady I fell for last year. I realised that she did not feel as I did and nothing was was going to happen. That was when I realised  "I Have To Let Her Go"

I have recorded this and it is at:  http://www.myspace.com/rogerclive



I Have To Let Her GoRoger Guppy 2007


Intro:


[Cmaj7][Fmaj7][Em][G]


   


Verse 1:


[Cmaj7] I have to say good [Fmaj7]bye to the [Em]one I love, [G]


[Cmaj7] Although it [Fmaj7]hurts, it must be [G]so,


[Am]I did not [G]think it could happen,


[Am]Right now, right [E]here it must end


[F]I have to [G]let her [C]go.[G]






Verse2:


[Cmaj7] If she’d just [Fmaj7]felt a [Em]half of what I feel,[G]


[Cmaj7] No greater [Fmaj7]love could ever [G]be,


[Am]But alas she can’t [G]feel as I do,


[Am]Right now, right [E]here it must end,


[F]I have to [G]let her [C]go.[G]






Chorus     


[Am]Although I [Em]love her with a passion,



[Am]So deep, it has no [G]bounds,


[Am]She cannot re[Em]turn my love,


[F]I have to [G]let her [C]go.[G]






Verse 3:


[Cmaj7] What a [Fmaj7]shame, what a tragic [Em]loss it is, [G]


[Cmaj7] A lifetime [Fmaj7]we could have [G]shared,


[Am]But this was [G]not meant to be,


[Am]Right now, right [E]here it must end,


[F]I have to [G]let her [C]go.[G]






Verse 4:


[Cmaj7] I know some [Fmaj7]day I will [Em]surely find someone,[G]


[Cmaj7] Who will love [Fmaj7]me as I love [G]her,


[Am]And then I [G]never, ever will,


[Am]Right then, right [E]there ‘til the end,


[F]Ever have to [G]let her [C]go.[C]

Re: "I Have To Let Her Go"

Roger this is a lovely song about a very sad realization.  The maj7 chords give it just the right hint of wistfullness and an appropriately empty feeling.   Far better to write a sad song about moving on than to wallow around in an abyss of regret.  Very well done and nicely recorded - like the echoing backing vocals.  James
