Capo: 1
I wanted to learn this song, but couldn't find any accurate tabs. So I worked it out.
This is my first tab, but it sounds right playing along with the song.
Play with Capo on 1st fret.
Intro/Chorus:
Slip sliding aGway, slip sliding Emaway
You know the nGearer your destinDation, the Cmore you slip Dsliding Gaway
Verse:
Whoah and I know a Emman, he came from my hGometown
He wore his pEmassion for his wDoman like a thorny cCrown C7
He said DGolores, I live in Emfear
My love for yGou's so overpowDering, I'm afCraid that I Dwill disaGppear
Chorus x1
I know a woman, (who) became a wife
These are the very words she uses to describe her life
She said a good day ain't got no rain
She said a bad day is when I lie in the bed
And I think of things that might have been
Chorus x1
[F to C then back to G]
And I know a father who had a son
He longed to tell him all the reasons for the things he'd done
He came a long way just to explain
He kissed his boy as he lay sleeping
Then he turned around and he headed home again
Chorus x1
Whoah God only knows, God makes his plan
The information's unavailable to the mortal man
We're workin' our jobs, collect our pay
Believe we're gliding down the highway, when in fact we're slip sliding away
Chorus x2
Then play G and Em for a while and end on Em
