Gordon Lightfoot - Stay Loose
CAPO: 2nd Fret
[INTRO:] G Am D G
[VERSE 1:]
If you've got a heartache
Am
Of the kind that will not pass by
Even if you don't see the end
D G
Of what lies beyond the bend
Don't stay that way
C/G G Am
It's all in a day believe me
D
Even the best of dreams must end
Even so it grieves me
[CHORUS:]
C D Bm7 C
Stay loose, don't fight it
D Bm7 Em
Let it take you all the way
C D Bm7 C
And if it's wrong, you will right it
D Bm7 C G
Do not waste these hours away
[VERSE 2:]
How many times have I told you
Am
These are the tears I've shed
Could it be that I need help
D G
Is it maybe, I've come undone
And one thing more
C/G G Am
You know it don't come ea__sy
D
Even the best of friends must part
Even so it grieves me
[CHORUS:]
C D Bm7 C
Stay loose, don't fight it
D Bm7 Em
Let love take a holiday
C D Bm7 C
If it's wrong, you're gonna right it
D Bm7 C G
Do not waste these hours away
[VERSE 3:]
Soon the storm will be over
Am
And the clouds will all pass by
To be insane beyond belief
D G
Is sometimes the best relief
And one thing sure
C/G G Am
Love never did come ea__sy
D
Even the best of dreams must end
Even so it grieves me
[CHORUS:]
C D Bm7 C
Stay loose, don't fight it
D Bm7 Em
Let it take you all the way
C D Bm7 C
And if it's wrong, you will right it
D Bm7 C G
Do not waste these hours away
[INSTRUMENTAL:] G Am D

Stay loose, don't fight it
