Slips Away (Dedicated to George Harrison)

Here are the chords for "Slips Away"

Slips Away – Andy Timmons

D (D2 – D) Gmaj7

One day you have it all,

Gmaj7m D

The next you’ve thrown it all away.

Bm F#

And you cry all night,

C G

Wondering how you let it go.

D E

And it’s so like sand through your fingertips.

A# C D

Ain’t it funny how it slips away.

You and your lonely life,

Believing it’ll all work out.

And you know you’re right,

Still the memory lingers on.

Don’t you know that I would go to pieces yeah,

A# C D

Ain’t it funny how it slips away.

A# C

Ain’t it funny how it slips,

G# A#

Funny how it slips away

C Am F Fm

I’ve heard that nothing lasts forever now,

C Am

I know, I know,

F G# A#

When you love someone you could never let it slip,

A# C D

Never let it slip away

Solo (With the chords of the first part)

D E

And it’s so like sand through your fingertips.

A# C D

Ain’t it funny how it slips away

A# C D

Ain’t it funny how it slips away

D Bm G Gm

Oh yeah, funny how it slips away

D Bm G Gm

Oh yeah, funny how it slips away

Solo (With this sequence: D-Bm-G-Gm)

In these last parts you can also use Gmaj7 & Gmaj7m (I don’t know the actual name of this last chord) instead of G & Gm. I use Gmaj7 & Gmaj7m with fingerpicking for the solo part and it sounds great. I play along with the record and it sounds pretty accurate.

I hope you enjoy it!
