Chris de Burgh - If You Really Love Her, Let Her Go
From the albums: At the End of a Perfect Day (1977) and The Love Songs (1997)
Comment for any corrections and please rate

In 1977 the first version of this song was released on the album At the End of a Perfect Day.
20 years later Chris de Burgh re-recorded the song with the arrangement of Peter Oxendale.
These chords match the original version from the album At the End of a Perfect Day.
The chords of the re-recorded version from the album The Love Songs are the same but then you
should leave the capo.


Capo 2

This is the tab for the intro, these notes are also being played when you see the Esus4 chord down below.
All notes are relative to the capo so at the re-recorded version you can play the same notes but
without a capo.

Intro: E Esus4 E Esus4 E Esus4 E

G#m             F#m
 Please give me one more chance,
G#m                    F#m
 I'm begging you, just one more chance,
            E    Esus4 E Esus4
 If you'll listen...
G#m                F#m
 This is not some movie romance,
G#m              F#m
 Or everlasting love at a glance,
            E    Esus4 E Esus4
 Won't you listen...
B          A
 She is a part of me now,
B                A                G#m
 She's the very heart of me now, so...
         F#m            B         E Esus4 E Esus4
 If you really love her, let her go.

G#m                          F#m
 She's your daughter and I know that you care,
G#m                           F#m
 But like a lost bird in the cold night air,
         E    Esus4 E Esus4
 She is lonely...
G#m                    F#m
 Thinking back to the days you were young,
G#m                              F#m
 When the pain of loving was so very strong,
              E    Esus4 E Esus4
 Weren't you lonely?
B           A
 She is no longer a child,
B                    A                 G#m
 She's a woman with love in her eyes, so...
         F#m            B         E Esus4 E Esus4 E Esus4 E
 If you really love her, let her go.

      E
 Oh she is like a bird,
           D
 Yearning for the winter wind,
         C
 If you let her go,
                         E       C D
 She'll come again in springtime,
     E
 But if you make her stay,
                D
 And hold her freedom in your hand,
         C
 In the morning you will wake,
                B     E Esus4 E Esus4
 And she'll be gone away...

G#m F#m G#m F#m
E Esus4 E Esus4
G#m F#m G#m F#m
E Esus4 E Esus4

B           A
 She is no longer a child,
B                       A                 G#m
 She's a woman with my love in her eyes, so...
         F#m            B         E Esus4 E Esus4
 If you really love her, let her go,
         F#m            B         E Esus4 E Esus4
 If you really love her, let her go,
         F#m            B         E F#m E F#m A E Esus4 E Esus4 E Esus4 E
 If you really love her, let her go...
