[Intro]
 G   D   A   Bm(x2)
[Verse 1]
GI’m gonna let it be the fiDeld
The one that rain fAorgot
I’m gonna let it be the sGummer
I’m gonna let it be your Dface
The one that ran Aaway
I’m gonna let it be Gforever
I’m gonna let it rain and Dhail
Gonna let the rusty nAail
No longer hold this world toGgether
I’m gonna let it be the Dsun
In more ways than Aone
Shine a different way Gtomorrow
Shine Aa different way Gtomorrow
[Instrumental]
 G   D   A   Bm(x2)
[Verse 2]
GI’m gonna let it be the Dmoon
Let it play the Atune
The one that keeps rGepeating
I’m gonna let it be your wDill
Let it have your tAhrill
If that’s what you are Gneeding
I’m gonna let it start Dagain
Gonna let it chase the Awind
With my arms stretched out Gbefore me
I’m gonna let it look at Dme
As I am sleeping in the Adark
And love me like a Gbaby
[Instrumental]
 G   D   A   Bm(x6)
[Verse 3]
GI’m gonna let it be the Dsun
In more ways than Aone
Run out of its Ghorizon
I’m gonna let it be the Dnight
For I have had my Aday
Dancing at the back Gdoor
I’m gonna let it hear the Dprayer
No matter who is Athere
No matter who is Glistening
I’m gonna let the dream tell Dme
What it has always kAnown
The moonlight and the Gglistening
The Amoonlight and the Gglistening
The Amoonlight and the Gglistening Dwaves
[Outro]
 G   D   A   Bm(x3)
G D A G

[Intro]

G D A Bm

(x2)

[Verse 1]

G D

I’m gonna let it be the field

The one that rain forgot

I’m gonna let it be the summer

I’m gonna let it be your face

The one that ran away

I’m gonna let it be forever

I’m gonna let it rain and hail

Gonna let the rusty nail

No longer hold this world together

I’m gonna let it be the sun

In more ways than one

Shine a different way tomorrow

A G

Shine a different way tomorrow

[Instrumental]

G D A Bm

(x2)

[Verse 2]

G D

I’m gonna let it be the moon

Let it play the tune

The one that keeps repeating

I’m gonna let it be your will

Let it have your thrill

If that’s what you are needing

I’m gonna let it start again

Gonna let it chase the wind

With my arms stretched out before me

I’m gonna let it look at me

As I am sleeping in the dark

And love me like a baby

[Instrumental]

G D A Bm

(x6)

[Verse 3]

G D

I’m gonna let it be the sun

In more ways than one

Run out of its horizon

I’m gonna let it be the night

For I have had my day

Dancing at the back door

I’m gonna let it hear the prayer

No matter who is there

No matter who is listening

I’m gonna let the dream tell me

What it has always known

The moonlight and the glistening

A G

The moonlight and the glistening

A G D

The moonlight and the glistening waves

[Outro]

G D A Bm
