Biography:
Harry Chapin (December 7, 1942 – July 16, 1981) was an American singer and songwriter. Chapin's debut album, Heads and Tales (1972), was a success thanks to the single "Taxi". His follow-up album, Sniper and Other Love Songs, was less successful; but his third, Short Stories, was a major success. Verities & Balderdash, released soon after, was even more successful, bolstered by the chart-topping hit single "Cat's in the Cradle". He also wrote and performed a Broadway musical, The Night That Made America Famous.

Let Time Go Lightly
performed by Harry Chapin on "Harry's Greatest Stories Live"
written by Steven Chapin
Chorus:
G Gmaj7 C
I let time go lightly when I'm here with you
Am D C G C
I let time go lightly when the day is through
G Gmaj7 C
I keep a watch on time when I've got work to do
Am D C G
I let time go lightly with you
Verse 1
G C G C G C G
Morning, a time for breaking ground and sowing seed
C D C G
And yet we give up our sunshine so we can buy what we need
C G C G C G C G
And that leaves the evening to share a fire with a friend or two
G C D C G
to lose sight of the hours; to go lightly with you
Chorus:
G Gmaj7 C
I let time go lightly when I'm here with you
Am D C G C
I let time go lightly when the day is through
G Gmaj7 C
I keep a watch on time when I've got work to do
Am D C G
I let time go lightly with you
Verse 2
G C G C G C G
Old friends, they mean much more to me than a new friend
C D C G
'cause they can see where you are and they know where you've been
G C G C G
Music has been my closest friend, my fiercest foe
G C D C G
'cause it can take you so high; yes, it can take you so low
C G D G A
When I was a child my mother would help me along
A C
She'd rock me to sleep and sing me a song
C G D G A
So I learned to love the music of all the tunes in my mind
A C
The changing of chords, the rhythm of time
Chorus:
G Gmaj7 C
I let time go lightly when I'm here with you
Am D C G C
I let time go lightly when the day is through
G Gmaj7 C
I keep a watch on time when I've got work to do
Am D C G
I let time go lightly with you
C D C
Yes I let time go lightly with you
Am D/F# G
and a fire and a friend or two
Am C D/F# G
With you and a fire and a friend or two
C G
A friend or two, and you
