Capo 1

INTRO: C G D (2x)

           C
There's an albatross around your neck,
        G
All the things you've said and the things you've done:
        C
Can you carry it with no regrets?
        G
Can you stand the person you've become?

Em            G
Oh, there's a light,
Em                    G
Oh, oh, oh, there's a light...

C        G             Em         D
Your albatross, let it go, let it go.
C        G               Em             D
Your albatross, shoot it down, shoot it down
         C                    G               D
When you just can't shake the heavy weight of living.

         C
Stepping forward out into the day,
          G
Shrugging off the dust and memory.
            C
Though it's soaring still above your head,
      G
It is out of sight and none shall see.

Em            G
Oh, there's a light,
Em                    G
Oh, oh, oh, there's a light...

C        G             Em         D
Your albatross, let it go, let it go.
C        G               Em             D
Your albatross, shoot it down, shoot it down
         C                    G               D
When you just can't shake the heavy weight of living.
         C                  G                   D
When you just can't seem to shake the weight of living...

         Em C        G             D
It's the sun in your eyes, in your eyes.
         Em C        G             D
It's the sun in your eyes, in your eyes.
         Em C        G             D
It's the sun in your eyes, in your eyes.
         Em C        G             D
It's the sun in your eyes, in your eyes.

C        G             Em         D
Your albatross, let it go, let it go.
C        G               Em             D
Your albatross, shoot it down, shoot it down
         C                    G               D
When you just can't shake the heavy weight of living.
         C                  G                   D
When you just can't seem to shake the weight of living...
              C     G
The weight of living,
              D
The weight of living,
              C     G
The weight of living,
              D
The weight of living.
