Slip Slidin Away

Intro/Chorus:

              G                 Em
Slip sliding away, slip sliding away
              G         
You know the nearer your 
       D          C          
destination, the more you slip 
   D       G
sliding away


Verse:
                   Em              
Whoah and I know a man, he came 
      G
from my hometown
             Em              D    
He wore his passion for his woman 
               C       C7
like a thorny crown
         G                 Em
He said Dolores, I live in fear
Continues after the ad
             G              D     
My love for you's so overpowering,
       C           D        G
 I'm afraid that I will disappear

Chorus x1

I know a woman, (who) became a wife
These are the very words she uses to
 describe her life
She said a good day ain't got no 
rain
She said a bad day is when I lie in 
the bed
And I think of things that might 
have been

Chorus x1

[F to C then back to G]

And I know a father who had a son
He longed to tell him all the 
reasons for the things he'd done
He came a long way just to explain
He kissed his boy as he lay sleeping
Then he turned around and he headed 
home again

Chorus x1

Whoah God only knows, God makes his 
plan
The information's unavailable to the
 mortal man
We're workin' our jobs, collect our 
pay
Believe we're gliding down the 
highway, when in fact we're slip 
sliding away
