[G] [C] [G] [D] [C] [G] [D] [G]
Chorus
Let it [G]go my love [C]my [G]truest,
Let it [D/E]sail on silver wings
Life’s a [C]twinkling that’s for [G]certain,
But it’s [D]such a fine thing
There’s a [G]gathering [C]of [G]spirits
There’s a [D]festival of friends

When we [D]all meet [G]again
Verse 1
I can’t [C]explain it. I [G]couldn’t if I tried
How the [C]only things we [G]carry
Are the [D]things we hold inside
Like a day in the [C]open,
like the [G]love we won't forget
Like the [C]laughter that we [G]started
And [D]hasn’t died down yet
Chorus
Let it [G]go my love [C]my [G]truest,
Let it [D/E]sail on silver wings

And we’ll [C]take up where we [G]left off
When we [D]all meet [G]again
Verse 1
Oh yeah, now [C]didn’t we, and [G]don’t we make it shine
Aren’t we [C]standing in the [G]centre of
[D]Something rare and fine
Some glow like [C]embers
or [G]light thru coloured glass
Some [C]give it all in [G]one great flame
Throwing [D]kisses as they pass
Chorus
Let it [G]go my love [C]my [G]truest,
Let it [D/E]sail on silver wings
Life’s a [C]twinkling that’s for [G]certain,

Verse 3
Just east of [C]Eden, But there’s [G]heaven in our midst
And we’re [C]never really [G]all that far
From [D]those we love and miss
Wade out in the [C]water
There’s a [G]glory all around
The [C]wisest say there’s a [G]thousand ways
To [D]kneel and kiss the ground
Chorus
Let it [G]go my love [C]my [G]truest,
Let it [D/E]sail on silver wings
Life’s a [C]twinkling that’s for [G]certain,
But it’s [D]such a fine thing
There’s a [G]gathering [C]of [G]spirits
There’s a [D]festival of friends
And we’ll [C]take up where we [G]left off
When we [D]all meet [G]again
