G    D/F#     G        C                      D
There's no excuse for torture, that you ought to know
       Em           C               D  D/C  D/B  D/A
Let it live, let it breathe, let it go
G      D/F#     G                 C             D
Solemn stands a scarecrow, he's a-hollow in his robes
       Em           C               D
Let it live, let it breathe, let it go

[Chorus]
    F        C           G
The song was only in our time
        F       C               G
They'll call it long, long ago
        F        C                  G
They'll say, "Ah well, it was their best"
       F   C      D
Let it go, let it go

[Verse]
    G      D/F#    G          C              D
The master and the mistress a-trying hard to show
       Em           C               D  D/C  D/B  D/A
Let it live, let it breathe, let it go
          G     D/F#     G        C                D
Now there is no time for shame or tears on a windowpane
       Em           C               D
Let it live, let it breathe, let it go

[Chorus]
    F        C           G
The song was only in our time
        F       C               G
They'll call it long, long ago
        F        C                  G
They'll say, "Ah well, it was their best"
       F   C      D
Let it go, let it go

[Verse]
G         D/F#    G                C                  D
Eyes were made to smile and water, tears were made to flow
       Em           C                  D  D/C  D/B  D/A
Let it live, let it breathe and let it go
          G         D/F#       G                    C           D
There's a game that would have bought you, were you ever set to throw
       Em           C                  D
Let it live, let it breathe and let it go

[Chorus]
    F        C           G
The song was only in our time
        F       C               G
They'll call it long, long ago
        F        C                  G
They'll say, "Ah well, it was their best"
       F   C      D F C D F C D F C D
Let it go, let it go......
