Overview (Please Read)
------------------------------------------------------------------
This is an acoustic guitar arrangement for the song Let It Go, from Disney's Frozen.
This arrangement was made because of the difficulty of transposing an orchestral
score to acoustic guitar, and combines parts unique to the soundtrack version with
parts unique to the single (Demi Lovato) version. Some chords had to be changed
because the two versions are in different keys. This arrangement uses the original
soundtrack key of A flat major (starting in the relative minor). Like most songs
that use a capo, these chords are transcribed by the chord shape, not the chord sound.
That is, despite fingering a G chord, you're actually play Ab.

Let It Go
-------------------------------------------------------------------
[Verse 1]
The Emsnow glows white on the Cmountain tonight not a Dfootprint to be Asus4seen Am
A Emkingdom of isoClation and it Dlooks like I'm the Asus4queen A
EmThe wind is Chowling like this Dswirling storm Asus4inside Am
EmCouldn't keep it Din, heaven knows I've Atried
[Pre-chorus 1]
DDon't let them in, don't let them Csee
Be the good girl you always have to Dbe

Well, now they Cadd2know
[Chorus 1]
G Dadd11/F#
Let it go, let it go
Can't Em7hold it back anyCadd9more
G Dadd11/F#
Let it go, let it go
Turn aEm7way and slam the Cadd9door

Let the G/Bstorm rageGm/Bb on
The Ccold never bothered me anyway
[Break]*
G, Dadd11/F#
[Verse 2]
Em It's funny how some Cdistance makes Deverything seem Amsmall
And the Emfears that once Dcontrolled me can't Amget to me at Aall
EmUp here in the Ccold thin air I Dfinally can AmbreathCe
I Emknow I left a Clife behind but I'm Dtoo relieved to Agrieve
[Pre-chorus 2]
D It's time to see what I can Cdo
To test the limits and break Dthrough
No right, no wrong, no rules for Cme
I'm Cadd2free
[Chorus 2]
G Dadd11/F#
Let it go, let it go
I am Em7one with the Cadd9wind and sky
G Dadd11/F#
Let it go, let it go

Here I stand and here I'll stay
Let the G/Bstorm rage Gm/Bbon C
[Bridge]
G Dadd11/F# Em7 Cadd9
Standing frozen in the life I've chosen
G Dadd11/F# Em7 Cadd9
You won't find me, the past is far behind me
G BuriedD in the Emsnow C
[Bridge 2]**
CMy power flurries through the air into the ground
CMy soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around
DAnd one thought crystallizes like an icy blast
EmI'm never Cgoing back, the Dpast is in the AmpastCadd9
[Chorus 3]
G Dadd11/F#
Let it go, let it go
And I'll Em7rise like the Cadd9break of dawn
G Dadd11/F#
Let it go, let it go
That Em7perfect girl is Cadd9gone
G Dadd11/F# Em7 Cadd9
Here I stand in the light of day
Let the G/Bstorm rage Gm/Bbon
CThe cold never bothered me anyway

Notes
------------------------------------------------------------------
*The break is just two measures, play it the same way you'd play the first
line of the chorus, but where the second line of the chorus would start,
begin the second verse. It takes some practice to get the timing right,
but it should sync up with the recorded Idina Menzel version still at that
point, so you can listen to it for timing. It's when the orchestral strings
come in.
**The first three lines of the second bridge (which is the second half of
the bridge from the original recording) sound better with power chords or
5 chords. The fingerings for these are: C (x355xx) and D (x577xx).
Additionally, this arrangement is structured in a way that you could drop
the entire second bridge, if you so choose, but it adds tension and
complexity to the final third of the song.
Finally, in almost the entire song the Dadd11/F# chord can either be replaced
by a normal D chord (Chorus) or a Dsus4 chord (all other times). The fingering
is: Dsus4 (xx0233).
