Let It Go Acoustic

------------------------------------------------------------------
                      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.

------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------PLEASE NOTE----------------------------
-   This arrangement is different then any recorded versions     -
-                    and is intended to be                       -
-          Please do not comment about any inaccuracies          -
-              compared to either recorded versions              -

Verse 1

    Em                      C                      D               Asus4   Am
The snow glows white on the mountain tonight not a footprint to be seen

  Em            C             D                  Asus4    A
A kingdom of isolation and it looks like I'm the queen
              
Em          C                 D              Asus4    Am
The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside

Em               D                     A
Couldn't keep it in, heaven knows I've tried

                    
Pre-chorus 1

D                                 C
Don't let them in, don't let them see

                                    D
Be the good girl you always have to be

                                    C
Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know

               Cadd2
Well, now they know


Chorus 1
 
       G          Dadd11/F#
Let it go, let it go

      Em7             Cadd9
Can't hold it back anymore
   
       G          Dadd11/F#
Let it go, let it go 

      Em7              Cadd9
Turn away and slam the door

G       Dadd11/F#          Em7      Cadd9
I don't care what they're going to say

        G/B       Gm/Bb
Let the storm rage on

    C
The cold never bothered me anyway


Break*

G,  Dadd11/F#


Verse 2

Em                    C              D               Am
  It's funny how some distance makes everything seem small

        Em              D                   Am           A
And the fears that once controlled me can't get to me at all

Em             C               D           Am    C
Up here in the cold thin air I finally can breathe

  Em            C                   D               A
I know I left a life behind but I'm too relieved to grieve


Pre-chorus 2

D                            C
 It's time to see what I can do

                             D  
To test the limits and break through

                                 C
No right, no wrong, no rules for me

    Cadd2
I'm free


Chorus 2
 
       G          Dadd11/F#
Let it go, let it go

     Em7          Cadd9
I am one with the wind and sky
   
       G          Dadd11/F#
Let it go, let it go 

      Em7           Cadd9
You'll never see me cry

G      Dadd11/F#     Em7       Cadd9
Here I stand and     here I'll stay

        G/B        Gm/Bb         C
Let the storm rage on        


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      D       Em      C
 Buried in the snow


Bridge 2**

C
My power flurries through the air into the ground

C
My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around

D
And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast

Em        C               D              Am  Cadd9
I'm never going back, the past is in the past


Chorus 3


       G          Dadd11/F#
Let it go, let it go

         Em7           Cadd9
And I'll rise like the break of dawn

G          Dadd11/F# 
Let it go, let it go

     Em7             Cadd9
That perfect girl is gone

G      Dadd11/F#    Em7      Cadd9
Here I stand in the light of day

        G/B        Gm/Bb       
Let the storm rage on        

C
The 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).
