Capo no 3º Traste 
 
D  D/F#  G   D  D/F#  G 
 
D      D/F#     G               D        D/F#  G 
She'll take the painting in the hallway, 
D   D/F#    G          D      D/F#  G 
The one she did in jr. high 
D   D/F#     G              D      D/F#  G 
And that old lamp up in the attic, 
D      D/F#      G              D   D/F#  G 
She'll need some light to study by. 
Em        A           D   D/F#  G 
She's had 18 years to get ready for this day 
Em            A               D   D/F#       G 
She should be past the tears, she cries some anyway 
 
Refrão -------------
D  A          D 
Oh oh letting go 
D       D/F#           G 
There's nothing in the way now,  
A          D           D/F#           F#    
Oh letting go, there's room enough to fly 
         Bm            Bm/A                 G      
And even though, she's spent her whole life waiting,  
           Bm   Em       G A       D   
It's never easy         letting go.

Mother sits down at the table 
So many things she'd like to do 
Spend more time out in the garden 
Now she can get those books read too. 
She's had 18 years to get ready for this day 
She should be past the tears, she cries some anyway.
