Patty Griffin - Let Him Fly


CAPO: 2nd Fret



INTRO: C    F

         C
Ain't no talking to this man

Ain't no pretty other side
      F
Ain't no way to understand

The stupid words of pride
         G
It would take an acrobat
       F        G
And I already tried all that
         C  F  C
I'm gonna let him fly



Things can move at such a pace

The second hand just waved goodbye
       F
You know the light has left his face

But you can't recall just where or why
          G
So there was really nothing to it
        F          G
I just went and cut right through it
             C  F   C
I said I'm gonna let him fly, ooh, yeah, yeah


      F        G
There's no mercy in a live wire
      Am
No rest at all in freedom
    F             Dm   Am7
Of the choices we are given, it's no choice at all
      F        G
Oh huh, the proof is in the fire
  C           Am   G Em    Dm
You touch before it moves away___,   yeah
                       G
But you must always know how long to stay and when to go


             C
And there ain't no talking to this man

He's been trying to tell me so
         F
It took awhile to understand
         Am
The beauty of just letting go
            F
'Cause it would take an acrobat
     Dm      G
I already tried all that
         C  F  C
I'm gonna let him fly
F         C  F        C
I'm gonna let him fly, fly, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
F         C  F    C
I'm gonna let him fly, fly, oh oh
F         C
