Capo First Fret
[Chorus]
G [tab] Em [tab] G D You know the nearer your destination C D G The more you're slip slidin' away
[Verse 1]
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]
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
[Verse 2]
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]
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
F C7 G
[Verse 3]
Em D And I know a fa-ather 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]
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
F C7 G F C7 G
[Verse 4]
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 G When in fact we're slip slidin' away
[Chorus x 2]
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 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
