INTRO: G
[G]Last time I saw Laura, she was [D]dancin' at the Mardi Gras
Every man in New Orleans was [C]sayin' ooh [G]la la
The way she used to love me, [D]make a dead man walk
Tore me up just to see her move, and I [C]loved to hear her [G]talk
CHORUS:
I had to let it [D]go, I had to let it [G]go
[C]Oh I mighta missed Heaven, but [G]then you never know
I had to let it [D]go, I had to let it [Em-C]go[G] [D]
[G]Last time I saw whiskey, it was [D]callin' out my name
I said whiskey you know I love you, but we'll [C]never be the [G]same
You used to take me with you thru the [D]nights that had no end
One night when you weren't lookin, Lord I [C]snuck around the [G]bend
CHORUS:
I had to let it [D]go, I had to let it [G]go
Well that [C]ain't the road to Heaven, that's [G]one thing I do know
I had to let it [D]go, I had to let it [Em-C]go[G] [D]
[G]Last time I saw Reno, so down on my [D]luck
I sweet talked a cocktail waitress into [C]loanin' me a [G]buck
By the time the night was over and I [D]handed back the dice
Picked up my winnin's and I [C]kissed that waitress [G]twice
CHORUS:
I had to let it [D]go, I had to let it [G]go
I mighta [C]rolled another seven, but [G]then you never know
I had to let it [D]go, I had to let it [Em-C]go[G]
Alright [D]let it go now[C] [D] [D7]
[G]Life is just a puzzle in[D]side a mystery
Your idea of Heaven might [C]look like hell to [G]me
I just keep on movin' you see I [D]never had a choice
Singin' out these stories in this [C]ragged down-home [G]voice
CHORUS:
I never let it [D]go, I never let it [G]go
I might [C]even get to Heaven, but [G]then you never know
I never let it [D]go, I never let it [Em-C]go[G]
Oh [D]no no no
I'm never letting [G]go, I'm never letting [D]go
I might [G]even get to Heaven but [D]then you never [Em]know
I never let it [C]go, no [D]no
