Slip sliding away, slip sliding away

You know the nearer your destination, the more you're slip sliding away

I know a man, he came from my hometown

He wore his passion for his woman like a thorny crown

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
G Em
Slip sliding away, slip sliding away
G D C D G
You know the nearer your destination, the more you're slip sliding away
Em D G
And I know a woman, became a wife
C D C C7
These are the very words she uses to describe her life
G Em
She said a good day ain't got no rain
G D
She said a bad day is when I lie in bed
C D G
And think of things that might have been

He kissed his boy as he lay sleeping
C D G
Then he turned around and headed home again
G Em
He's slip sliding, slip sliding away

Believe we're gliding down the highway, when in fact we're slip sliding away

Slip sliding away, slip sliding away
G D C D G
You know the nearer your destination, the more you're slip sliding away

You know the nearer your destination, the more you're slip sliding away

That's how this -ish works man... I've submitted flawless tabs that've been rejected for one reason or another. Quality tabs isn't something they're necessarily concerned with on this site. Basically what gets voted the highest is the most relate-able tab for a particular song. 'Cause you can have stuff down to a 'T' for people, but if it's out of their comfort zone they think it's a bad tab or inaccurate. Not to mention, tab-ing in general is kinda 'ehhhhhhh' not the highest of musical notation, so I try not to be on too high of a horse when it comes to expectations or using them.

Gude as tab, but for the long sections of G, I find it cool if you alternate between G and [ 3 0 2 0 1 3]. And after one of the chorus' I think the woman/wife one there's a break of F, C then back to G.

IMO, for the 3rd verse, i think it could be
Em (D) G
Fa-ther who had a son
Simon adds a little inflection in his voice here
