Song by Paul Simon
Chords By Reneh "sheik" Karamians
C Em
Slip slidin away Slip slidin away
G D
You know the nearer your destination
F D G
The more you're slip slidin away
Em G6
I know a man He came from my home town
C D
He wore his passion for his woman
C G
Like a thorny crown He said Delores
Em G D
I live in fear My love for you is so overpowering
C D G
I'm afraid that I will disappear
C Em
Slip slidin away Slip slidin away
G D
You know the nearer your destination
F D C
The more you're slip slidin away
Em G6
I know a woman Became a wife
C D
These are the very words she uses
C G
To describe her life 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
C Em
Slip slidin away Slip slidin away
G D
You know the nearer your destination
F D G F,C,G
The more you're slip slidin away
Em D G
And I know a father Who had a son
C D
He longed to tell him all the reasons
C C
For the things he'd done
G6 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
C Em
Slip slidin away Slip slidin away
G D
You know the nearer your destination
F D G F,C,G,F,C,G
The more you're slip slidin away
Em G
God only knows God makes his plan
C D
The information's unavailable
C G Em
To the mortal man We work our jobs Collect our pay
G D
Believe we're gliding down the highway
C D G
When in fact we're slip slidin away
C Em
Slip slidin away Slip slidin away
G D
You know the nearer your destination
F D G Em
The more you're slip slidin away Slip slidin away
G
You know the nearer your destination
C D G
The more you're slip slidin away
