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: G Em Slip sliding away, slip sliding away G D C D G You know the nearer your destination, the more you slip sliding away [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/p/paul-simon/128906.html ] Verse: Em G Whoah and I know a man, he came from my hometown C D C C7 He wore his passion for his woman like a thorny crown G Em He said Dolores, I live in fear G D C D G My love for you's so overpowering, I'm afraid that I will disappear 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 |
