Verse 1:

	 G               Em
	People check to tell me
	 C         Am        G   Gsus4 G
	What they think is right
	G              Em
	I don't listen to them
	  C        Am        G   Gsus4 G
	Don't know day from night

	 Am                    C
	I'll go through life searchin'
	 Em                 G
	Tryin' to find the one
	 C                 Em
	I'd go slip, slip, you'd go slip, slip
	  D  Dsus4 D   D  Dsus4 D
	Away

Chorus:

	       Am                D       C       G   Gsus4 G
	And I don't need you to help me find my way
	       Am           D          C        G   Gsus4 G
	I can make it if I just don't see your face

	Am       D   C    G Gsus4  G          [2X; w/harmonica 2nd time]
	/ / / /  / / / /  / / / /  / / / /

Verse 2:

	Once I had a problem
	Didn't know what to do
	Now I've got no problems
	All I had was you

	Guess I'll keep on searchin'
	And try to find the one
	'Cause I'd go slip, slip, you'd go slip, slip
	Away

[repeat chorus]

Coda:

	      Am   D  C     G  Gsus4 G
	Ah ah ah      ah ah ah
	      Am   D  C     E [end cold]
	Ah ah ah      ah ah ah
