Slip Sliding Away chords
Paul Simon 1977 (Greatest Hits, Etc.)
Capo I
G Em 2x
G Em
Slip sliding away, slip sliding away
G D
You know the nearer your destination,
C D G
the more you're slip sliding away
Em G
I know a man, he came from my hometown
C D
He wore his passion for his woman
C C7
like a thorny crown
G Em
He said Dolores, I live in fear
G D
My love for you's so overpowering,
C D G
I'm afraid that I will disappear
G Em
Slip sliding away, slip sliding away
G D
You know the nearer your destination,
C D G
the more you're slip sliding away
Em D G
And I know a woman, became a wife
C D
These are the very words she uses
C C7
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 bed
C D G
And think of things that might have been
G Em
Slip sliding away, slip sliding away
G D
You know the nearer your destination,
C D G F C G
the more you're slip sliding away
Em D G
And I know a father who had a son
C D
He longed to tell him all the reasons
C C7
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 headed home again
G Em
He's slip sliding, slip sliding away
G D
You know the nearer your destination,
C D G F C G F C G
the more you're slip sliding away
Em G
And God only knows, God makes his plan
C D C C7
The information's unavailable to the mortal man
G Em
We're workin our jobs, collect our pay
G D
Believe we're gliding down the highway,
C D G
when in fact we're slip sliding away
G Em
Slip sliding away, slip sliding away
G D
You know the nearer your destination,
C D G
the more you're slip sliding away
G Em
Slip sliding away, slip sliding away
G D
You know the nearer your destination,
C D G
the more you're slip sliding away
[Outro]
