Song by Paul Simon

Chords By Reneh "sheik" Karamians


C Em
Slip slidin away Slip slidin away

G D
You know the nearer your destination

F D G
The more you're slip slidin away


Em G6
I know a man He came from my home town

C D
He wore his passion for his woman

C G
Like a thorny crown He said Delores

Em G D
I live in fear My love for you is so overpowering

C D G
I'm afraid that I will disappear

C Em
Slip slidin away Slip slidin away

G D
You know the nearer your destination

F D C
The more you're slip slidin away

Em G6
I know a woman Became a wife

C D
These are the very words she uses

C G
To describe her life She said a good day

Em
Ain't got no rain

G D
She said a bad day's when I lie in bed

C D G
And think of things that might have been


C Em
Slip slidin away Slip slidin away


G D
You know the nearer your destination

F D G F,C,G
The more you're slip slidin away


Em D G
And I know a father Who had a son

C D
He longed to tell him all the reasons

C C
For the things he'd done

G6 Em
He came a long way Just to explain

G D
He kissed his boy as he lay sleeping

C D G
Then he turned around and headed home again

C Em
Slip slidin away Slip slidin away

G D
You know the nearer your destination

F D G F,C,G,F,C,G
The more you're slip slidin away

Em G
God only knows God makes his plan

C D
The information's unavailable

C G Em
To the mortal man We work our jobs Collect our pay

G D
Believe we're gliding down the highway

C D G
When in fact we're slip slidin away

C Em
Slip slidin away Slip slidin away

G D
You know the nearer your destination

F D G Em
The more you're slip slidin away Slip slidin away

G
You know the nearer your destination

C D G
The more you're slip slidin away
