Folks, this is a brilliant song. If I had even the slightest training in music theory I would explain the
time signatures, but I don't. It's difficult for me to say for sure if the time signature in the verse is
different from the instrumental/chorus section, but I think it is.
If you have any idea how to explain this or even how to format it on here so that it makes more sense,
I'd really appreciate some input on it. Hope y'all enjoy.
[Verse]
F Dm
It’s a long hard road, through a rough edged land
A# F
To the softest part of a man
F Dm
And it’s lined with stones, tangled in regrets
A# F A# C
That are just too hard to forget, ooooh
[Verse]
F Dm
There’s rusty signs, overlooked on the way
A# F
To the heart of a troubled man
F Dm
And you can loose yourself, in the deep muddy ruts
A# F
Worn through by the pride of a man
A# C F
Oh, worn through by the pride of a man
[Chorus]
A# Dm
But letting go
A# Dm
letting go
A# Dm
letting go
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
F Dm
In a lonesome field, there’s a wild-eyed mare
A# F
Tied to the weight of a man
F Dm
And she once ran free, with the wind in her hair
A# F
Breathing hard for the love of a man
A# C F
Ohh, breathing hard for the love of a man
F Dm
He won’t let her be, she won’t let him rest
A# F
‘Till he learns how to forgive
[Chorus]
A# Dm
And let her go
A# Dm
Let her go
A# Dm
Let her go
[Instrumental]
A# Dm A# Dm
A# C
[Bridge]
F A#
Forgiveness is a falling leaf
Em7 Dm7
In the changing of the years
A# C
As it settles down to the cooling ground
[Chorus]
A# Dm
Let it go
A# Dm
Let it go
A# Dm
Let it go
[Instrumental]
