[Db]
I [Bbm] [Eb]
[Db] [Cm] [Ab]
[Bbm] [Db] [Ab]
[Eb] [Ab] let time go lightly [Eb] when [Db] I'm here with you.
I let time [Eb] go lightly [Db] when the day [Ab]
is through.
[Bbm] [Ab] I keep a watch on time when [Db] I've got work to do.
But [Bbm] I let time [Eb] go lightly [Db] with you.
[Ebm] [Ab]
[Bbm] [Ebm]
[Eb] [Ebm] [Fm]
[Eb] [Ab]
Morning, [Db] [Ab]
a time [Db] for breaking ground [Ab]
and so in the sea.
And yet we give up our [Db]
sunshine so [Gm]
[Fm] [Cm] we can buy [Db] what we [Cm]
[Ab] need.
[Bbm] [Db]
[Eb] And that [Ab] leaves the evening to share [Db] a fire with [Ab] a friend or two.
To lose sight of the [Bbm]
hour, [Eb]
to [Db] go lightly [Dbm] with you.
[E] [Ab]
I let time go lightly when [Db] I'm here with you.
[Bbm]
I let [Eb] time go lightly [Db] when the day [Cm] is [Fm] through.
[Bbm] [Ab]
I keep a watch on time when I've [Db] got work to do.
[Bbm] But I let [Eb] time go lightly [Db] with you.
[Gb] [Db] [Ab] [Db]
[Ab]
Old friend, they mean much [Db] more to me than [Ab] a new friend.
Because they can see where you [Bbm]
are [Eb]
[Db] and they know where [Ab] you've been.
[Db] [Ab]
Music has been my oldest friend, [Fm]
my fiercest foe.
[E]
Because [D] it can take [C] me so [Bbm]
high.
Yes, [Eb]
[Dbm] it can make me so low.
[Cm] When I was [Fm] a child, [Gbm] my mother [Bb] would help me along.
She'd rock me to sleep [Bbm] and [Db] sing me a song.
[Dbm] So I [Cm] learned to love [Fm] the music [Bm] of all [Db] the [Bb] tunes in my mind.
The changing of chords, [C] [Db] the rhythm of [Ab] time.
I let time go lightly when [Db] I'm here with you.
[Bbm] I let time [Eb] go lightly [Db] when the day [Fm] is through.
[Bbm] [Ab] I keep a watch on time when [Db] I've got work to do.
[Bbm] But I let [Eb] time go lightly [Db] with you.
[Gb] [Db]
[Ab] [Db] Yes, I let [Bbm] time [Ab] [Eb] go lightly [Fm] [Eb]
with [Db] [Fm] you.
[Bbm] And a [Bm] fire [D] and a friend [Cm] or two.
[Db] With [Ab] you and [Bbm] a [Bm] fire and [Ab] a friend [Cm] or two.
[B] [Bbm] [F]
A friend [Eb] or two.
[Ab] And you.
