After reviewing the abysmal interpretation that is available here on UG, I thought
I'd redo this song for you. Cheers.
Slip On By Finder Favour
Guitar Tuned 1/2 step down
Intro D, Bm, G, Em7
Early mDorning by the riverside,
Saw an oBmld man waiting for a bite,
GWe started talking and he took me back in Em7time.
He said I Dwas young, and thought I'd always be,
Then I wBmoke up, now I'm 83
There's so Gmuch I missed, oh how I wish
I could get Em7back all that time I wasted.
Chorus:
DI see the tears of a young bride
Em7The morning that we had our firsGt fight.
I should've held herA tight.
DAnd on the day that my momma died,
Em7I hung up the phone and never said Ggoodbye.
Don't let it slip on,
ADon't let it slip on,
Don't let it slip on Dby.
Verse 2
Well, he Dlooked up, tears in his eyes.
BmSaid I'm not sure if you were looking for advice.
There's just Gsomething about you that reminds me ofEm7 me.
It ain't Deasy always looking back,
But itBm seems these days that it's all I have.
What Ghurts me the most is knowing what could have been,
And if I Em7listen real close sometimes I can
Chorus
DHear the sound of my little boy
Em7Saying, daddy can you please come play with Gme?
But I was too Abusy.
Then one day, mDy baby grew up and went to war.
Em7I never thought he'd be gone in the blink of an Geye.
So don't let it slip on,
ADon't let it slip on,
Don't let it slip on Dby.

Don't let it slip on Gby. A
