Dixie Chicks Let Him Fly written by Patty Griffin
D
Ain't no talkin to this man
Ain't no pretty other side
G
Ain't no way to understand the stupid words of pride
Asus A G A
It would take an acrobat, and I already tried all that
D G D
I'm gonna let him fly
D
Things can move at such a pace
The second hand just waved goodbye
G
You know the light has left his face
But you can't recall just where or why
Asus A
So there was really nothing to it
G A
I just went and cut right through it
D G D
I said I'm gonna let him fly yeah
G A
There's no mercy in a live wire
Bm
No rest at all in freedom
G Em Bm
The choices we are given it's no choice at all
G A
The proof is in the fire
D Bm F#m
You touch before it moves away
Em A Asus A
But you must always know how long to stay and when to go
D
And there ain't no talkin to this man
He's been tryin to tell me so
G Bm
It took awhile to understand the beauty of just letting go
G Bm A
Cause it would take an acrobat, I already tried all that
A D G D
I'm gonna let him fly
G D
I'm gonna let him fly fly
G D
I'm gonna let him fly
