SLIPAWAY

|| : Fm Ab Eb (2x) || Fm Ab Bb || Fm Db-Ab-Eb : ||

I took the money off the dresser

I took the keys to the Chevrolet

I know you prob’ly deserved better

I did it anyway

I gassed the car and took the highway

Headed west on the interstate

I kept awake on truck-stop coffee

Man, it was 40-weight

Chorus 1:

|| Ab Fm Db-Ab-Eb (4x) ||

Big pine country I’ll be seeing you soon

I’ll stand above the cliffs and watch the ocean roar

And I’ll forget that I ever knew her name

Forget that I ever danced to her tune – I’m goin’ home

I heard the gospel on the AM

It was all I could pull in

I didn’t need to hear them preachin’

To know that I had sinned

Inst break: (follows verse)

Chorus 2:

I can see her in the morning sun

I can see her, in the misty plains

Her face is etched upon those mountains I crossed

But I won’t turn back again – I’m goin’ home

Inst. Break:

|| Fm Bb (2x) || Cm Db Eb || Ab Fm Db-Ab-Eb ||

I nearly called her from Reno

But I put the phone down and took back the 50 cents

‘cause if I heard her voice just one more time

my resolve would be worth less than those 5 dimes

Chorus 2 – Chorus 1…. end
