Verse 1:
D C2/D
Oh this son of mine I love so well
Bm/D C2/D
And all the toil it takes
D Bm7
I’d give to him a garden
C D
and keep it clear of snakes
F#m G
But the one thing he most treasures
A Bm Em
Is to make his own mistakes - ohhh
D C2/D
He goes charging on the cliffs of life
Bm/D C2/D
G reckless mountaineer
D Bm7
I could help him not to stumble
C D
I could warn him what to fear
F#m G
I could shout until I’m breathless
A Bm Em
And he’d still refuse to hear - ohhh
Chorus:
Em Gmaj7 A
But you cannot close the acorn
F#m7 Bm
Once the oak begins to grow
F#m F#m7 Bm7
And you cannot close your heart
Em G7 A
To what it fears and needs to know
F#m G Bm A
That the hardest part of love
D
Is the letting go
Verse 2:
D C2/D
As a child I found a sparrow
Bm/D C2/D
Who had fallen from the nest
D Bm7
And I nursed him back to health
C D
Till he was stronger than the rest
F#m G
But when I tried to hold it
A Bm
It would peck and scratch my chest
Em
Till I let it go
D C2/D
And I watched it fly away from me
Bm/D C2/D
With its brightened self resolve
D Bm7
And part of me was cursing
C D
I had helped it grow so strong
F#m G
And I feared it might go hungry
A Bm Em
And I feared it might go wrong - ohhh
Chorus:
Em G7 A
But I could not close the acorn
F#m7 Bm
Once the oak began to grow
F#m F#m7 Bm7
And I cannot close my heart
Em G7 A
To what it fears and needs to know
F#m G Bm A
That the hardest part of love
D
Is the letting go
D C2/D Bm/D C2/D
D C2/D
And it’s only in Eden
Bm/D C2/D
Grows a rose without a thorn
D Bm7
And your children start to leave you
C D
On the day that they were born
F#m G
They will leave you there to cheer for them
A Bm Em
They will leave you there to mourn ever so
D C2/D
Like an ark on uncharted seas
Bm/D C2/D
Their lives will be tossed
D Bm7
And deeper is your love for them
C D
The crueler is the cost
F#m G
And just when they start to find themselves
A Bm Em
Is when you fear they’re lost - ohhh
Chorus:
Em Gmaj7 A
But you cannot close the acorn
F#m7 Bm
Once the oak begins to grow
F#m F#m7 Bm7
And you cannot close your heart
Em G7 A
To what it fears and needs to know
F#m G Bm A
That the hardest part of love
F#m G Bm A
And the rarest part of love
Bm G A
And the truest part of love
D
Is the letting go
