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
