Topic: Gotta Let Her Go

I posted this in another thread, but since then I have changed some lyrisc and chords.

here is the revised song

Gotta Let Her Go By Jim Kenyon


Verse 1


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


You can’t [Am] break a promise [G] made through thick or [C] thin


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


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


.




Verse 2


.


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


You can’t [Am] rush the night [G] or a morning [C] dawn


You can’t [Am] grab lightning [G] from a thunder [Am] cloud


And you can’t [C] stop the years, they [G] won’t slow [C] down


.


Chorus


.


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


it's in her [C] voice, I see it in her eyes


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


I’ve [G] never liked to[F] say good[C]bye


no, I’ve [G] never liked to[F] say good[C]bye




Verse 3


.




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


You can’t [Am] go forward ‘til you [G] let go the [C] past


You can’t [Am] hide fromyourself [G] or truth you [Am] see


And you can’t [C] tame a heart yearning [G]to be [C]free


.


Chorus



.


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


it's in her [C] voice, I see it in her eyes


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


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


no, I [G] never thought I’d [F]have to say good[C]bye


.




Verse 4


.




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


You can't [Am] stop a dreamer [G]reaching for the [C]sky


you can’t [Am]get too close to a [G] raging wild [Am] fires


And you can’t [C] hold back a [G] heart chasing de[C]sires




Chorus


.


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


it's in her [C] voice, I see it in her eyes


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


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


yeah, It’s[G] so damn hard to [F]say good[C]bye




Outgo


.


no, I’ve [G] never liked to[F] say good[C]bye


no, I [G] never thought I’d [F]have to say good[C]bye


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





The price of anything, is the amount of life you exchange for it.   - H.D. Thoreau
Your vision is not limited by what your eye can see, but what your mind can imagine.
Make your life count, and the world will be a better place because you tried.
"Use the talents you possess, for the woods would be very silent if no birds sang except only the the best." - Henry Van Dyke
