Let Time Go Lightly

Harry Chapin


Tom: G

Chorus: 
G             Gmaj7            C 
I let time go lightly when I'm here with you 
Am            D                C       G          C 
I let time go lightly when the day is through 
G             Gmaj7                  C 
I keep a watch on time when I've got work to do 
Am            D             C  G 
I let time go lightly with you 
 
G     C G           C                   G            C G 
Morning, a time for breaking ground and sowing seed 
                       C        D         C           G 
And yet we give up our sunshine so we can buy what we need 
    C               G     C G          C           G              C G 
And that leaves the evening to share a fire with a friend or two 
G                    C      D     C            G 
to lose sight of the hours; to go lightly with you
