INTRO: G

G D

Last time I saw Laura, she was dancin' at the Mardi Gras

C G

Every man in New Orleans was sayin' ooh la la

D

The way she used to love me, make a dead man walk

C G

Tore me up just to see her move, and I loved to hear her talk

CHORUS:

D G

I had to let it go, I had to let it go

C G

Oh I mighta missed Heaven, but then you never know

D Em-C G D

I had to let it go, I had to let it go

G D

Last time I saw whiskey, it was callin' out my name

C G

I said whiskey you know I love you, but we'll never be the same

D

You used to take me with you thru the nights that had no end

C G

One night when you weren't lookin, Lord I snuck around the bend

CHORUS:

D G

I had to let it go, I had to let it go

C G

Well that ain't the road to Heaven, that's one thing I do know

D Em-C G D

I had to let it go, I had to let it go

G D

Last time I saw Reno, so down on my luck

C G

I sweet talked a cocktail waitress into loanin' me a buck

D

By the time the night was over and I handed back the dice

C G

Picked up my winnin's and I kissed that waitress twice

CHORUS:

D G

I had to let it go, I had to let it go

C G

I mighta rolled another seven, but then you never know

D Em-C G

I had to let it go, I had to let it go

D C D D7

Alright let it go now

G D

Life is just a puzzle inside a mystery

C G

Your idea of Heaven might look like hell to me

D

I just keep on movin' you see I never had a choice

C G

Singin' out these stories in this ragged down-home voice

CHORUS:

D G

I never let it go, I never let it go

C G

I might even get to Heaven, but then you never know

D Em-C G

I never let it go, I never let it go

D

Oh no no no

G D

I'm never letting go, I'm never letting go

G D Em

I might even get to Heaven but then you never know

C D

I never let it go, no no

OUTRO: G C (repeat out)
