Intro D, Bm, G, E minor 7Em7

D MajorD
Early morning by the riverside,
    B minorBm
Saw an old man waiting for a bite,
G+G                     E minor 7Em7
We started talking and he took me back in time.

     D MajorD
He said I was young, and thought I'd always be,
    B minorBm
Then I woke up, now I'm 83
      G+G
There's so much I missed, oh how I wish
      E minor 7Em7
I could get back all that time I wasted.

Chorus:
D MajorD
I see the tears of a young bride
E minor 7Em7               G+G
The morning that we had our first fight.
          A augmentedA
I should've held her tight.
D MajorD
And on the day that my momma died,
E minor 7Em7                G+G
I hung up the phone and never said goodbye.

Don't let it slip on,
A augmentedA
Don't let it slip on,
           D MajorD
Don't let it slip on by.

Verse 2
     D MajorD
Well, he looked up, tears in his eyes.

Said I'm not sure if you were looking for advice.
       G+G                   E minor 7Em7
There's just something about you that reminds me of me.

D MajorD
It ain't easy always looking back,
   B minorBm
But it seems these days that it's all I have.
   G+G
What hurts me the most is knowing what could have been,
     E minor 7Em7
And if I listen real close sometimes I can

Chorus
D MajorD
Hear the sound of my little boy
E minor 7Em7                     G+G
Saying, daddy can you please come play with me?

A augmentedA
But I was too busy.
        D MajorD
Then one day, my baby grew up and went to war.
E minor 7Em7                       G+G
I never thought he'd be gone in the blink of an eye.

So don't let it slip on,
A augmentedA
Don't let it slip on,
           D MajorD
Don't let it slip on by.

Bridge
           E minor 7Em7
I shook the old man's hand and I thanked him.

And I drove home as fast as I could go.
        C majorC      E minorEm
Just to let her know...

That I need her,

Don't let it slip on,
           D MajorD      E minor 7Em7
Don't let it slip on by.
           G+G      A augmentedA
Don't let it slip on by.
