{Refrain:
                   G    C-G                     Em    Em7
Slip sliding away . . . . slip sliding away
                      G                       D               C                   D        G   C G
You know the nearer your destination . the more you slip sliding away        }

               Em   Em7                                    G      C     G
I know a man . . . . . he came from my hometown
                   G                    D                  C                   C7
He wore his passion for his woman like a thorny crown
             G                                 Em . . . Em7
He said Dolores . . . . . I live in fear
                  G                 D               C                   D               G       C    G
My love for you's so overpowering . I'm afraid that I might disappear

[REFRAIN]

               Em   Em7                         G      C     G
I know a woman . . . . . . became a wife
                     G                      D               C               C7
These are the very words she uses to describe her life
                G                              Em . . . Em7
She says a good day ain't got no rain
                 G                          D
She says a bad day is when I sit at home
        C                        D                  G    C G
And think of things that I might have been

[REFRAIN]

                      C   D                   G
And I know a father who had a son
                    G                   D                    C                     C7
He longed to tell him all the reasons for the things he done
                 G                                Em   Em7
He came a long way . . . just to explain
                     G                  D
He kissed his boy as he lay sleeping
C                            D                     G    C G
Turned around and headed home again

[REFRAIN]

                      Em Em7                                    G      C     G
And god only knows and god makes his plans
              G               D                   C                   C7
The information's unavailable to the mortal man
                     G                       Em . . . Em7
We work our jobs . . . . . collect our pay
                     G                       D
Believe we're making progress down that road
    C                         D          G       C    G
In fact we're just slip sliding away
