SLIP SLIDIN' AWAY ( Paul Simon )


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

         Em7               G
I know a man he came from my home town
             C               D            C            C7
He wore his passion for his woman like a thorny crown
           G               Em7 
He said Delores I live in fear
             G             D              C           D        G   
My love for you is so overpow'ring I'm afraid that I will disapear

CHORUS


         Em7              G
I know a woman became my wife
               C             D           C             C7
These are the very words she uses to describe her life
               G                    Em7
She said:" A good day ain't got no rain"
               G                 D
She said: " A bad day is when I lie in bed"
       C                    D         G
"And think of things that might have been."

CHORUS


             Em7               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                  Em7
He came a long way just to explain
               G              D
He kissed the boy as he lay sleeping
         C                 D             G
Then he turned around and headed home again

CHORUS
      

          Em7                 G
God only knows God makes his plan
          C            D               C         C7
The information is unavailable to the mortal man
             G                Em7
We work our jobs, collect our pay
                G                D
Believe we are gliding down the highway 
          C               D       G
When in fact we are slip slidin'away

CHORUS
