*****DO NOT ADD STRUMMING PATTERNS TO MY TABS*****
Patty Griffin - Let Him Fly
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO:        C      F  
Ain't no talking Cto this man
Ain't no pretty other side
Ain't no waFy to understand
The stupid words of pride
It would take an Gacrobat
And I already Ftried all thatG  
I'm gonna let him CflyF  C  
Things can move at such a pace
The second hand just waved goodbye
You know the Flight has left his face
But you can't recall just where or why
So there was really Gnothing to it
I just went and Fcut right through itG  
I said I'm gonna let him Cfly, Fooh, Cyeah, yeah
There's no Fmercy in a live Gwire
No rest at Amall in freedom
Of the Fchoices we are given, it's Dmno choAm7ice at all
Oh huh, the Fproof is in the Gfire
You Ctouch before it moves aAmway___,  G      EmyeahDm  
But you must always know how long to stay and Gwhen to go
And there ain't no talking Cto this man
He's been trying to tell me so
It took awhile to Funderstand
The beauty of just Amletting go
'Cause it would take an Facrobat
I already Dmtried all thatG  
I'm gonna let him CflyF  C  
FI'm gonna let him Cfly, Ffly, oh oh oh oh Coh oh oh
FI'm gonna let him Cfly, Ffly, oh Coh 
FI'm gonna let him Cfly
