Slip Slidin' Away:Paul Simon. Album - Greatest Hits, Etc. - Single went to #5 in 1977. CHORUS: E5 G5 E5 Slip slidin' away..slip slidin' away. G5 D5 You know the nearer your destination, C5 D5 G5 the more you're slip slidin' away. #1. E5 G5 I know a man..he came from my home town. E5 D5 He wore his passion for his woman like a C5 thorny crown. G5 E5 He said, Dol...ores, I live in fear. G5 D5 C5 My love for you's so overpowering, I'm afraid D5 G5 that I will disappear. CHORUS: E5 G5 E5 Slip slidin' away..slip slidin' away. G5 D5 You know the nearer your destination, C5 D5 G5 the more you're slip slidin' away. #2. E5 G5 I know a woman..became a wife. E5 D5 C5 These are the very words she uses to describe her life. G5 E5 She said, A good day..Ain't got no rain. G5 D5 She said, A bad day's when I lie in bed C5 D5 G5 and think of things that might have been. CHORUS: E5 G5 E5 Slip slidin' away..slip slidin' away. G5 D5 You know the nearer your destination, C5 D5 G5 the more you're slip slidin' away. #3. E5 D5 G5 I know a fath..er, who had a son. C5 D5 He longed to tell him all the reasons for the C5 things he'd done. G5 E5 He came a long way just to explain. G5 D5 He kissed his boy as he lay sleeping, C5 D5 G5 F5 C5 G5 then he turned around and headed home again. CHORUS: E5 G5 E5 Slip slidin' away..slip slidin' away. G5 D5 You know the nearer your destination, C5 D5 G5 the more you're slip slidin' away. #4. E5 G5 God only knows..God makes his plan. E5 D5 C5 The information's unavailable to the mortal man. G5 E5 We're working our jobs..collect our pay, G5 D5 believe we're gliding down the highway, C5 D5 G5 when in fact we're slip slidin' away. CHORUS: E5 G5 E5 Slip slidin' away..slip slidin' away. G5 D5 You know the nearer your destination, C5 D5 G5 the more you're slip slidin' away. CHORUS: E5 G5 E5 Slip slidin' away..slip slidin' away. G5 D5 You know the nearer your destination, C5 D5 G5 the more you're slip slidin' away. A seventies smash from Kraziekhat.
