Slip Slidin Away

[Intro]
G         Em
Ooh, ooh, ooh
G         Em
Ooh, ooh, ooh
              G
Slip slidin' away

[Chorus]
              Em
Slip slidin' away
             G                D
You know the nearer your destination
     C                D       G
The more you're slip slidin' away
          Em
I know a man

[Verse 1]
             G
He came from my home town
   G7       C               D
He wore his passion for his woman
       C
Like a thorny crown
C7          G
  He said Delores
          Em
I live in fear
            G            D
My love for you's so overpowering
     C            D         G
I'm afraid that I will disappear
              G
Slip slidin' away

[Chorus]
              Em
Slip slidin' away
             G                D
You know the nearer your destination
     C                D      G
The more you're slip slidin' away
               Em7
And I know a woman

[Verse 2]
         G
Became a wife
              C              D
These are the very words she uses
     C
To describe her life
C7           G
  She said a good day
             Em
Ain't got no rain
           G                 D
She said a bad day's when I lie in bed
    C              D                G
And think of things that might have been
              G
Slip slidin' away

[Chorus]
              Em
Slip slidin' away
             G                D
You know the nearer your destination
     C                D      G   F
The more you're slip slidin' away
C7 G              Em D
    And I know a fa__ther

[Verse 3]
          G
Who had a son
   G7        C                D
He longed to tell him all the reasons
        C
For the things he'd done
C7          G
  He came a long way
          Em
Just to explain
              G             D
He kissed his boy as he lay sleeping
        C                 D            G
Then he turned around and headed home again
He's slip slidin'

[Chorus]
G              Em
 Slip slidin' away
             G                D
You know the nearer your destination
     C                D      G   F
The more you're slip slidin' away
C7 G F C7 G
         Em
God only knows

[Verse 4]
              G
God makes his plan
         C           D
The information's unavailable
       C
To the mortal man
C7           G
  We working our jobs
            Em7
Collect our pay
              G                D
Believe we're gliding down the highway
        C               D        G
When in fact we're slip slidin' away
              G
Slip slidin' away

[Chorus]
              Em
Slip slidin' away
             G                D
You know the nearer your destination
     C                  D     G
The more you're slip slidin' away
Slip slidin' away
              Em
Slip slidin' away
             G                D
You know the nearer your destination
     C                D      G
The more you're slip slidin' away
      Em
Mmm, mmm
