Topic: Let Go ( of what you cannot change)

I'm sorry this has taken so long.. and it probably needs tweaking

This song is for Bill and Dondra who have suffered what seems like unending crisis.

Luckily for them they have a strong love and chordie friends to help face those problems.
I was gonna do a quick recording - but I have to go coach my basketball team smile  (Maybe later today Ican get to it)

any way - this is the song...


[song]
{t: Let go of what you cannot change}

[C]I’ve had every[F]thing  that [G]you can [C] think of
[C]There isn’t  [F]much that hasn’t [G]come my [C]way
[C]Not a day goes [F]past that [G]  there isn’t[C] something
[C]It seems every[F] sunny sky [G]ends up [C]grey

[C]Stuff  keeps[F] happening to [G]make life[C] tough
[C] ain’t  nobody[F] listening when[G]  I comp[C]lain
[C]Seems there’s a [F]black cloud hanging[G]over[C] me
[C]Feels like every[F] day has [G]some kind of [C] pain

Chorus
So [F]When life gives you loads of  [C]problems
[F]Tragic,  mysterious  and    [C]strange
[F]Laugh when you can,[C]pray when you should
And[G] let go of [Fmaj7] what you cannot [C]change

[C]Just remember [F]life goes [G]on and [C] on
[C]with challenges to [F] face   a[G]long   the [C]way
[C]if  you let it get [F]to you, it’ll [G] drive you  [C]mad
[C]With your  heart and [F]soul tested [G]every [C]day       


Chorus
So [F]When life gives you loads of  [C]problems
[F]Tragic,  mysterious  and    [C]strange
[F]Laugh when you can,[C]pray when you should
And[G] let go of[Fmaj7 what you cannot [C]change

[G] let go of [Fmaj7what you cannot [C]change
[G] let go of [Fmaj7what you cannot [C]change
[G] let go of [Fmaj7what you cannot [C]change
[Song/]

Re: Let Go ( of what you cannot change)

A nice easy tune with great lyrics as we've come to expect from TIG. I even found time to fit a little harmonica in . It's your song TIG and I have not right to mess with it, but after playing it through a few times, for me the last line of the chorus flowed a little better played
And (G) let(Fmaj7) go of what you cannot (C)change.
Just my very humble opinion, and thank you for sharing another great song.

Re: Let Go ( of what you cannot change)

keep it real

Thanks for the kind words and the improvement.

I liked your suggestion and made the change - I have put it in Chopro format - it's so much easier for me to play from that .
here is the link that will take youto it.

Re: Let Go ( of what you cannot change)

TIG I like these lyrics of your's                            Just remember life goes on and on
                                                                                with challenges to face   along   the way
                                                                                 if  you let it get to you, it’ll drive you  mad
                                                                                 With your  heart and soul tested every day     
Can't wait hear it as a song..

Re: Let Go ( of what you cannot change)

Sweet and sour!

You always hit the nail on the head, great words great story. I'm running out of superlatives to describe your work!
You've made a rod for your own back my old friend, I don't think you actually try to do better than the last it just comes naturally. Well done.

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.

Re: Let Go ( of what you cannot change)

TIGLJK really nicely done good and great words. When I listen to you for some reason I think about Bob Dylan and I mean that as a compliment.

Music is what feelings sound like.
Music is life, that why our hearts have beats.

Re: Let Go ( of what you cannot change)

TIG I like the way  your song  reveals hard times are good in their own way.. For  me as I see life, the only way most people  achieve true happiness is after they have experienced true sadness. You are a very talented songwriter.
