Let Yourself Go
Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, Mojo - June 2010
Note:  laid back but with snappy, jazzy feel.
alternating chord pattern for lyrics......
 Gm- Bb,  Gm-  Bb-   C(do thru-out lyrics)
 Gm- Bb,  Gm-  Bb- C,  Gm- Bb,  Gm- Bb- C, etc.
Rain on the river I'm soaking wet
Waiting on a friend who ain't come yet
And he might not get here for three or four days
Got to make a little bit go a long way
I've got a blond headed woman who likes to come around
Cute little hippy girl lives in town
Brings a bag a records and she plays 'em 'til dawn
Give me little lovin then she got to go home
CmWhen times are hard
DWhen you start feelin' low
 Gm- Bb,  Gm- Bb- C,  Gm- Bb, etc.
Let yourself go
CmWhen the river's risin' and the 
Dworld feels cold
 Gm- Bb,  Gm- Bb- C,  Gm- Bb, etc.
Let yourself go
Let yourself go
 Gm- Bb,  Gm- Bb- C,  Gm- Bb, etc.
I got a 442 sittin' in the sun
Well it's been ten years since she used to run
Man she was a beauty in '69
But there ain't no more comin' down the line
CmWhen times are hard
DAnd you start feelin low
 Gm- Bb,  Gm- Bb- C,  Gm- Bb, etc.
Let yourself go
CmWhen the river's risin and your 
Dworld feels cold
 Gm- Bb,  Gm- Bb- C,  Gm- Bb, etc.
Let yourself go
Honey let yourself go
fade out over  Gm- Bb,  Gm-  Bb-  Calternating pattern
