#1.
         G
I know a man..he came from my home town.
            D
He wore his passion for his woman like a
C

thorny crown.
               Em
He said, Dol...ores, I live in fear.
            C
My love for you's so overpowering, I'm afraid
       G
that I will disappear.

the more you're slip slidin' away.

#2.
         G
I know a woman..became a wife.
              C
These are the very words she uses to describe

her life.
            Em
She said, A good day..Ain't got no rain.
            D
She said, A bad day's when I lie in bed
    G
and think of things that might have been.

CHORUS:
Em
Slip slidin' away..slip slidin' away.

    G
the more you're slip slidin' away.

#3.
         G
I know a fath..er, who had a son.
             D
He longed to tell him all the reasons for the
C
things he'd done.
          Em
He came a long way just to explain.
              D
He kissed his boy as he lay sleeping,
        G
then he turned around and headed home again.

CHORUS:
Em
Slip slidin' away..slip slidin' away.
             D
You know the nearer your destination,
    G
the more you're slip slidin' away.

#4.
         G
God only knows..God makes his plan.
         C
The information's unavailable to the mortal man.
                  Em
We're working our jobs..collect our pay,
              D
believe we're gliding down the highway,
        G
when in fact we're slip slidin' away.

CHORUS:
Em
Slip slidin' away..slip slidin' away.
             D
You know the nearer your destination,
    G
the more you're slip slidin' away.

CHORUS:
Em
Slip slidin' away..slip slidin' away.
             D
You know the nearer your destination,
    G
the more you're slip slidin' away.
