Chorus:
G
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
I know a man
G
He came from my home town
C D
He wore his passion for his woman
C C7
Like a thorny crown
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
Chorus
Em
I know a woman
G
Became a wife
C D
These are the very words she uses
C C7
To describe her life
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
Chorus
F C7 G
Em D
And I know a fath-er
G
Who had a son
C D C C7
He longed to tell him all the reasons for things he'd done
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
Chorus
F C7 G F C7 G
Em
God only knows
G
God makes his plan
C D
The information's unavailable
C C7
To the mortal man
G
We work our jobs
Em
Collect our pay
G D
Believe we're gliding down the highway
C D G
When in fact we're slip slidin' away
Chorus
Em G G Em Em G G Em
