slip on Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][Am][C][F][Dm]
Early [C]morning

[Verse 1]
by the riverside
Saw an [Am]old man waiting for a bite
[F]We started talking and he took
me back in [Dm]time
He said I was [C]young and
thought I'd always be
Then I [Am]woke up now I'm 83
There's so [F]much I missed
Oh how I wish I could [Dm]get
back all that time I wasted
[C]I see

[Verse 2]
the tears of a young [Dm]bride
The morning that we had our
[F]first fight
I should've held [G]her [Gsus4]tight[G]
[C]And on the day that my momma die[Dm]d
I hung up the phone and
never said good[F]bye
Don't let it slip on
[Gsus4]Don't let it slip on
Don't let [G]it slip [C]on by

[Verse 3]
Well he looked [C]up with tears in his eyes
Said I'm [Am]not sure if you were
looking for advice
There's just [F]something about you
That reminds me [Dm]of me
It ain't [C]easy always looking back
But it [Am]seems these days
that it's all I have
And what [F]hurts me the most is
knowing what could have been
And if I [Dm]listen real close sometimes I can
[C]

[Verse 4]
Hear the sound of my
little [Dm]boy saying
Daddy can you come play [F]with me?
But I was too [Gsus4]busy[G]
Then one [C]day my baby grew
up and went to war
[Dm]I never thought he'd be gone
in the blink of an [F]eye
Don't let it slip on
[G]Don't let[Gsus4] it slip on
Don't let it slip [C]on by

[Verse 5]
[C]I shook the old man's [Dm]hand
and I thanked him
And I drove [C]home as fast as I could [F]go
Just to let her [Bb]know[C][Dm]
That I [C]need her
That I [Am]love her
That I'm nev[F]er gonna let another
moment like this [G]slip on by
Don't let it slip [C]on by
[Dm]

[Interlude 1]
[F][G][Gsus4][G]
[C]We're

[Verse 6]
only here for a little [Dm]while
And God gives us only so
[F]much precious time
Don't let it slip on
[G]Don't let it slip on[Gsus4]
Don't let it slip [G]on [C]by[Dm]
Don't let it slip [F]on by
[G]
