Slip Sliding Away chords
Paul Simon
Capo I
G Em 2x
G Em
Slip sliding away, slip sliding away
G D C D G
You know the nearer your destination, the more you slip sliding away
Em G
Whoah and I know a man, he came from my hometown
C D C C7
He wore his passion for his woman like a thorny crown
G Em
He said Dolores, I live in fear
G D C D G
My love for you so overpowering, I m afraid that I will disappear
G Em
Slip sliding away, slip sliding away
G D C D G
You know the nearer your destination, the more you slip sliding away
Em G
I know a woman, (who) became a wife
C D C C7
These are the very words she uses to describe her life
G Em
She said a good day ain t got no rain
G D
She said a bad day is when I lie in the bed
C D G
And I think of things that might have been
G Em
Slip sliding away, slip sliding away
G D C D G
You know the nearer your destination, the more you slip sliding away
Em G
And I know a father who had a son
C D C C7
He longed to tell him all the reasons for the things he d done
G Em
He came a long way just to explain
G D
He kissed his boy as he lay sleeping
C D G
Then he turned around and he headed home again
G Em
Slip sliding away, slip sliding away
G D C D G
You know the nearer your destination, the more you slip sliding away
Em G
Whoah God only knows, God makes his plan
C D C C7
The information s unavailable to the mortal man
G Em
Were workin our jobs, collect our pay
G D C D G
Believe were gliding down the highway, when in fact were slip sliding away
G Em
Slip sliding away, slip sliding away
G D C D G
You know the nearer your destination, the more you slip sliding away 2x
