(0) = This note in the D chords does work, it just make it sounds more like a D/A. But
you may strum it if you know.
x = Don't play / mute if possible
G chord = You can do the G accord with the B string on the 3 fret or on the 0 fret. Both
works. But for this song use 3 fret. It sounds the best and is easier.
I always prefer this version of all songs I play.
[Intro - 1 Strum per beat]
(This part is piano played in the song, but this works fine if you only have a Guitar)

Em C D Am
It's funny how some distance makes everything seem small
Em C D Am
And the fears that once controlled me can't get to me at all
Em C D Am
Up here in the cold thin air I finally can breathe
Em D
I know I left a life behind but I'm too relieved to greive
[Chorus - Strum]
G Dsus4
Let it go, let it go
Em7 Cadd2
Can't hold it back anymore
G Dsus4
Let it go, let it go
Em7 Cadd2
Turn my back and slam the door
G Dsus4
And here I stand
Em7 Cadd2
And here I'll stay
G Dsus4
Let it go, let it go
Cadd2 Cadd2
The cold never bothered me anyway
[Bridge - Strum]
G Dsus4 Em7 Cadd2
Standing - frozen in the life I've chosen
G Dsus4 Em7 Cadd2
You won't find me, the past is all behind me
G Dsus4 Em7 Cadd2
Buried in the snow
[Chorus/Outro - Silent, 1 strum]
(Techincally in the song piano plays once for every accord, and guitar jumps in with 1
strum of the last one, Cadd2. But you can take over the Piano part if you like)
There is one tricky part here that I kinda figured out.
The bass goes a different pattern at one part of the song here.
I marked the bass, but playing the whole chord with these might sound weird.
So here I will show how I recommend you to play the chords
You will haft to use a free finger to mute the other strings
Chords:
G Dsus4/F Em7 Cadd2/Eb
E|----3-----3-----3-----3----|
B|----3-----3-----3-----3----|
G|----0-----0-----0-----0----|
D|----x-----x-----x-----1----|
A|----x-----x-----x-----x----|
E|----3-----1-----0-----x----|
I actually have no idea what the real chords are at this part. I think it's actually
just G, G/F, G/E, G/Eb. But it sounds crap if you only play G G G G with a guitar, you need
to have the bass. Feel free to write a comment about it if you know.
G Dsus4
Let it go, let it go
Em7 Cadd2
Can't hold it back anymore
G Dsus4
Let it go, let it go
Em7 Cadd2
Turn my back and slam the door
G Dsus4/F
And here I stand
Em7 Cadd2/Eb
And here I'll stay
G Dsus4
Let it go, let it go
Em7 Cadd2
The cold never bothered me anyway~~!!!!
(Continue with G, Dsus4, Em7, Cadd2 until song )
Let it go
And here I'll stay
Let it go, let it go
Oooooh let it go
