Intro:
C  G/B  Am  G  F  C  F  G
C  G  Eb  Am  Ab

Verse:
C             G/B          Am           G
You ceased to mow the lawn ten years ago
         F         C            F            G
You just wanted to see how your garden would grow
     Am           G                  C             F
You abandoned the pruning shears and welcomed each weed
                  C                     G
You permitted the soil to select its own seed

Verse:
       C          G/B       Am               G
But it would be unfair to assume you don't care
        F           C          F            G
For you pay great attention to all that goes there
        Am       G            C         F
But you simply abstain from a plan or design
                         C       G            C
You just let it all hang out and take its own time
         F               C       G            C
You just let it all hang out and take its own time

Instrumental:
C  G/B  Am  G  F  C  F  G

Verse:
        C          G/B           Am               G
And you follow the thread in the book that you've read
      F              C           F               G
Or in something that someone you heard somewhere said
          Am          G            C        F
You say, "It's all connected, it's all intertwined
                       C       G            C
If you let it all hang out and take its own time
       F               C       G            C
If you let it all hang out and take its own time"

Instrumental:
C  G/B  Am  G  F  C  F  G
C  G  Eb  Am  Ab

Verse:
          C              G/B       Am          G
Well, you don't move too fast, you make it all last
      F            C        F            G
You encounter each moment before it is past
        Am            G            C           F
And you say, "Walking slow in this world is no crime"
                         C       G            C
You just let it all hang out and take its own time
         F               C       G            C
You just let it all hang out and take its own time
         F               C       G            C
You just let it all hang out and take its own time
         F               C       G            C     G  F
You just let it all hang out and take its own time
    G            F
And take its own time

Outro:
C  F  G  C  G  F  C
         F               C       G            C
You just let it all hang out and take its own time
