Intro:
(1/2 of chorus) :  GCG D C G D G

Chorus:
       G             C    G
Let it go my love my truest,
        D/E
Let it sail on silver wings
                C                            G
Life’s a twinkling that’s for certain,
             D
But it’s such a fine thing
                G              C  G
There’s a gathering of spirits
                D
There’s a festival of friends
                  C                           G
And we’ll take up where we left off
                 D            G
When we all meet again.

Verse 1:
                  C            G
I can’t explain it. I couldn’t if I tried
                C                     G
How the only things we carry
              D
Are the things we hold inside
                                   C
Like a day in out the open,
              G
like the love we won't forget
                 C                       G
Like the laughter that we started
         D
And hasn’t died down yet


Chorus:
       G             C    G
Let it go my love my truest,
        D/E
Let it sail on silver wings
                C                            G
Life’s a twinkling that’s for certain,
             D
But it’s such a fine thing
                G              C  G
There’s a gathering of spirits
                D
There’s a festival of friends
                  C                           G
And we’ll take up where we left off
                 D            G
When we all meet again.


Verse 1:
                        C                    G
Oh yah, now didn’t we, and don’t we make it shine
                  C                         G
Aren’t we standing in the centre of
D
Something rare and fine
                           C
Some glow like embers
      G
or light thru coloured glass
           C                  G
Some give it all in one great flame
                    D
Throwing kisses as they pass


Chorus:
       G             C    G
Let it go my love my truest,
        D/E
Let it sail on silver wings
                C                            G
Life’s a twinkling that’s for certain,
             D
But it’s such a fine thing
                G              C  G
There’s a gathering of spirits
                D
There’s a festival of friends
                  C                           G
And we’ll take up where we left off
                 D            G
When we all meet again.

Verse 3:
                     C                         G
Just east of Eden, But there’s heaven in our midst
                    C                G
And we’re never really all that far
           D
From those we love and miss
                            C
Wade out in the water
                G
There’s a glory all around
          C                             G
The wisest say there’s a thousand ways
       D
To kneel and kiss the ground


Chorus:
       G             C    G
Let it go my love my truest,
        D/E
Let it sail on silver wings
                C                            G
Life’s a twinkling that’s for certain,
             D
But it’s such a fine thing
                G              C  G
There’s a gathering of spirits
                D
There’s a festival of friends
                  C                           G
And we’ll take up where we left off
                 D            G
When we all meet again.
