                      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.

-   This arrangement is different then any recorded versions     -
-                    and is intended to be                       -

                              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).
