[Verse 1]
C
  This song is for the rats
Bb
  Who hurled themselves into the ocean
          Dm                              F
When they saw that the explosives in the cargo hold
      C
Were just about to blow
C
  This song is for the soil
Bb
  That's toxic clear down to the bedrock
       Dm                         F
Where no thing of consequence can grow
          C
Drop your seeds there, let them go
 
[Chorus]
               Am   C   F   Asus2
Let them all go
               C   Am   F   Am    Asus2 Am  C
Let them all go
 
[Verse 2]
C
  This song is for the people
Bb
  Who tell their families that they're sorry
      Dm                   F                 C
For things they can't and won't feel sorry for
C
  And once there was a desk
    Bb
And now it's in a storage locker somewhere
          Dm                                 F
And this song is for the stick pins and the cottons
   C
I left in the top drawer
 
[Chorus]
              Am   C   F   Asus2
Let 'em all go
              C   Am   F   Am    Asus2 Am
Let 'em all go

[Verse 3]
C
  I wanna sing one for the cars
         Bb
That are right now headed silent down the highway
         Dm                         F
And it's dark and there is nobody driving
      C
And something has got to give
C
  I saw you waiting by the roadside
Bb
  You didn't know that I was watching
Dm            F
  Now you know
C
  Let it all go
 
[Chorus]
              Am   C   F   Am
Let 'em all go
             C   Am   F   Am    Asus2 Am
Let it all go
