[Intro]
---------------------
G#        Fm
Ooh, ooh, ooh
G#        Fm
Ooh, ooh, ooh
              G#
Slip slidin' away

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
              Fm
Slip slidin' away
             G#               D#
You know the nearer your destination
     C#               D#      G#
The more you're slip slidin' away
          Fm
I know a man

[Verse 1]
---------------------
             G#
He came from my home town
   G#7      C#              D#
He wore his passion for his woman
       C#
Like a thorny crown
C#7         G#
  He said Delores
          Fm
I live in fear
            G#           D#
My love for you's so overpowering
     C#           D#        G#
I'm afraid that I will disappear
              G#
Slip slidin' away

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
              Fm
Slip slidin' away
             G#               D#
You know the nearer your destination
     C#               D#     G#
The more you're slip slidin' away
               Fm7
And I know a woman

[Verse 2]
---------------------
         G#
Became a wife
              C#             D#
These are the very words she uses
     C#
To describe her life
C#7          G#
  She said a good day
             Fm
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
              G#
Slip slidin' away

[Chorus (3)]
---------------------
              Fm
Slip slidin' away
             G#               D#
You know the nearer your destination
     C#               D#     G#  F#
The more you're slip slidin' away
C#7 G#             Fm D#
    And I know a fa__ther

[Verse 3]
---------------------
          G#
Who had a son
   G#7       C#               D#
He longed to tell him all the reasons
        C#
For the things he'd done
C#7         G#
  He came a long way
          Fm
Just to explain
              G#            D#
He kissed his boy as he lay sleeping
        C#                D#           G#
Then he turned around and headed home again
He's slip slidin'

[Chorus (4)]
---------------------
G#             Fm
 Slip slidin' away
             G#               D#
You know the nearer your destination
     C#               D#     G#  F#
The more you're slip slidin' away
C#7 | G# | F# | C#7 | G# 
         Fm
God only knows

[Verse 4]
---------------------
              G#
God makes his plan
         C#          D#
The information's unavailable
       C#
To the mortal man
C#7          G#
  We working our jobs
            Fm7
Collect our pay
              G#               D#
Believe we're gliding down the highway
        C#              D#       G#
When in fact we're slip slidin' away
              G#
Slip slidin' away

[Chorus (5)]
---------------------
              Fm
Slip slidin' away
             G#               D#
You know the nearer your destination
     C#                 D#    G#
The more you're slip slidin' away
Slip slidin' away
              Fm
Slip slidin' away
             G#               D#
You know the nearer your destination
     C#               D#     G#
The more you're slip slidin' away
      Fm
Mmm, mmm
