[Ab]
[Fm] ooooooooooo
[Ab]
ooo ooooooo [Fm] ooo ooo ooo
slip sliding [Ab] away
slip sliding [Fm] away away
you know [Ab] the nearer your destination
the [Db] more you slip sliding [Ab] away
I know [Fm] a man, he came [Ab] from my hometown He [Db] wore his passion for [Eb] his woman like [Db] a
thorny crown He says, [Ab] Dolores, I live [Fm] in fear
My love [Ab] for you's overpowering, I'm afraid that I [Eb] might [Ab] disappear
Slip sliding away, slip sliding [Fm] away
You [Ab] know the near destination, [Db] the more you [Ab] slip sliding away
I know [Fm] a woman,
[Ab] became a wife
Or the very word she uses [Db] to describe her life
[Ab] She says a good day ain't got [Fm] no rain
She [Ab] said a bad day's when I [Eb] lie in bed and [Db] think of things that [Ab] might have been
Slip sliding away, slip sliding [Fm] away
You know [Ab] the near destination, [Db] the more you slip [Ab] sliding away
[Db] And [Ab]
I knew a [Fm]
[Eb] father who had a [Ab] son
Who longed to tell him all the [Eb] reasons for the [Db] things he'd done
He drove [Ab] a long way just to [Fm] explain
[Ab] He kissed his boy as he lay sleeping
Then [Db] he turned around and headed home [Ab] again
He slip sliding, slip sliding [Fm] away
You know the [Ab] near [Eb] destination, the [Db] more you slip [Ab]
sliding away
[Db]
[Ab] [Db]
[Ab] God only [Fm] knows, [Ab] God makes his plan
The [Db] information's [Eb] unavailable to [Db] the mortal man
We're working [Ab] our job, collect [Fm] all the pain
[Ab] Believe we're gliding [Cm] down the highway [Db] when in fact we're slip sliding [Ab] away
Slip sliding away, slip sliding [Fm] away
You know the [Ab] near [Eb] destination, the [Db] more you slip [Eb] sliding [Ab] away
Slip sliding away, slip sliding [Fm] away
You know the [Ab] near destination, the [Db] more you slip [Ab] sliding away
[Fm]
I [Ab] want to love,
[Fm]
I [Ab] want to love
[Fm] I want [Ab] to love love love
[Fm] I [Ab] want to love, I want to love [Fm] I [Ab] want to love love love
[Fm]
[Em]
White [Db] Sands National Park, [G]
[D] feels very surreal
Feels like I took psychedelics but I did not
