Chord/Tab song: Time Slips Away

CAPO: 3rd Fret


INTRO: G D G D Em7 C

I [G]got back into town after seven [D]years on the road
And I [Em7]walked under the bridge where we first [C]met so long ago

On those [G]summer nights we planned, bon[D]fires in the sand
And we'd [Em7]sing and dance for hours, then I'd [C]walk you home[D]

And we'd [G]take our time, go slow, 'cause we [D]didn't have far to go
And the [Em7]moon lit up the path that [C]lead us to your door

Last [G]night I went to see if you were home
Just your [D]mother talking on the phone
To her [Em7]little girl who moved away and [C]hasn't come back [D]home

CHORUS:
N.C. C
Oh, the time
Oh, the [D]time slips a[Em7]way
And it [C]leaves you [Am7]feel[G]ing [D]down
But as the [C]time
As the [D]time slips a[Em7]way
Those [C]memories of the past [G]seem to [Am7]stay
Those memories [G]stay[C][G][C]

[G]Sometimes I'd go down [D]to the general store
Where I'd [Em7]cash my week's pay, but it's [C]not there anymore

They [G]had to shut her down, after the [D]new one came to town
Nothing but a [Em7]tired wooden floor and a [C]dust-beam shining through the [D]door

CHORUS:
N.C. C
Oh, the time
Oh, the [D]time slips a[Em7]way
And it [C]leaves you [Am7]feel[G]ing [D]down
But as the [C]time
As the [D]time slips a[Em7]way
Those [C]memories of the past [G]seem to [Am7]stay
Those memories [G]stay [C][G][C][G][C][Em7]

BRIDGE:
Why don't you come back [D]home?
We'll go [G]walking on the beach all a[C]lone
And we'll [G]take our time, go [C]slow
'Cause we [G]won't have far to [C]go

CHORUS:
N.C. C
Oh, the time
Oh, the [D]time slips a[Em7]way
And it [C]leaves you [Am7]feel[G]ing [D]down
But as the [C]time
As the [D]time slips a[Em7]way
Those [C]memories of the past [G]seem to [Am7]stay
Those memories [G]stay [C]
Oh, those memories [G]stay[C]

OUTRO:
We'll go [G]walking on the beach all a[C]lone
We'll go [G]walking on the beach [C]
