INTRO: E  B7  E  B7  E  B7  E  B7

E                         B7
I shoulda learned better, old enough to know
A            B7               E   B7
Slippin' and slidin', feelin' low
            E                B7
Yeah it's a setback at best, a shameful show, baby
A            B7               E   E7
Slippin' and slidin', feelin' low


CHORUS:
A                         E
Now I'm wakin' up feelin' bad again
A          B7               E           E7
I'm losin' patience with my only friend
A        B7           E              C#7
Why do I try my luck, I should never touch this stuff
       A
But it shouldn't make any difference anymore,
   B7
As long as I keep up appearances, Lord


          E                   B7
I've been working too hard, I need some time at home, baby
A            B7               E   B7
Slippin' and slidin', feelin' low


SOLO:
E    B7   A B7  E B7
E    B7   A B7  E E7


CHORUS:
A                            E
Darlin' I just need a little comfortin'
A                B7              E     C#m  E7
I ain't seen the sunrise since I don't know when, baby
A            B7      E              C#7
Days gettin' longer, nights gettin' cold
A            B7               Ab7
Slippin' and slidin', feelin' low, mama
A            B7
Slippin' and slidin'
A           B7
Peekin' and hidin'
A            B7               E
Slippin' and slidin', feelin' low
