Finding Favour - Slip on by

Early m^Dorning by the riverside, Saw an o^Bm7ld man waiting for a bite ^GWe started talking and he took me back in ti^Em7me

He said I ^Dwas young, and thought I'd always be, Then I w^Bm7oke up, now I'm 83 There's so ^Gmuch I missed, oh how I wish I could get ba^Em7ck all that time I wasted.

^DI see the tears of a young bride ^Em7The morning that we had our first ^Gfight. I should've held he^Asusr tight. ^DAnd on the day that my momma died, ^Em7I hung up the phone and never said go^Godbye.

^AsusDon't let it slip on, Don't let it slip on ^Dby.

Well, he ^Dlooked up, tears in his eyes. ^Bm7Said I'm not sure if you were looking for advice. There's just so^Gmething about you that reminds me of me. ^Em7

It ain't ^Deasy always looking back, But it^Bm7 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

^DHear the sound of my little boy ^Em7Saying, daddy can you please come play with me^G? But I was too ^Asusbusy. Then one day, m^Dy baby grew up and went to war. ^Em7I never thought he'd be gone in the blink of an ey^Ge.

^AsusDon't let it slip on, Don't let it slip on ^Dby.

I^D shook the old man's ^Em7hand and I thanked him. And I drove ^D/F#home as fast as I could ^Ggo. Just to let her ^Ckn^Em7ow...

^DThat I need her, That I ^Bm7love her, That I'm ^Gnever gonna let another moment like this s^Asuslip on by. Don't let it slip on ^Dby.

^DWe're only here for a little while, ^Em7And God gives us only so much pr^Gecious time.

^AsusDon't let it slip on, Don't let it slip on ^Dby. ^Em7 Don't let it slip on ^Gby. ^Asus
