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
