title : let me let go
performed by : faith hill ( and vince gill background )
album : faith ( 1998 )
written by : steve diamond & dennis morgan
authors’ note :
this is a new interpretation , based on a transcription originally
posted by steven kuo ( mailto : skuo@galaxy . nsc . com ) .
we have gleaned some richer chords ( major 9ths , etc . . . ) from the
recording in a few places . our chord syntax might not be completely
accurate , so we specify the chords at the end .
