Slip Slidin Away Chords & Lyrics - Paul Simon

[Em]Slip slidin' a[G]way..slip slidin' a[Em]way.
You know the [G]nearer your destin[D]ation,
the [C]more you're slip [D]slidin' a[G]way.

#1.
I know a [Em]man..he came from [G]my home town.
He wore his [Em]passion for his [D]woman like a
[C]thorny crown.
He said, Dol...[G]ores, I live in [Em]fear.
My love for [G]you's so over[D]powering, I'm a[C]fraid
that I [D]will dis[G]appear.

[CHORUS]
[Em]Slip slidin' a[G]way..slip slidin' a[Em]way.
You know the [G]nearer your destin[D]ation,
the [C]more you're slip [D]slidin' a[G]way.

#2.
I know a [Em]woman..became a [G]wife.
These are the [Em]very words she [D]uses to des[C]cribe

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

[CHORUS]
[Em]Slip slidin' a[G]way..slip slidin' a[Em]way.
You know the [G]nearer your destin[D]ation,
the [C]more you're slip [D]slidin' a[G]way.

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

[CHORUS]
[Em]Slip slidin' a[G]way..slip slidin' a[Em]way.
You know the [G]nearer your destin[D]ation,
the [C]more you're slip [D]slidin' a[G]way.

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

[CHORUS]
[Em]Slip slidin' a[G]way..slip slidin' a[Em]way.
You know the [G]nearer your destin[D]ation,
the [C]more you're slip [D]slidin' a[G]way.

[CHORUS]
[Em]Slip slidin' a[G]way..slip slidin' a[Em]way.
You know the [G]nearer your destin[D]ation,
the [C]more you're slip [D]slidin' a[G]way.
