Ill Slip Away

I'll Slip Away (1967 Full Band Version)


[Intro]

 Am7    D


[Verse 1]

            Am7                           D
And I'll forget about the girl that said no
            Am7                     D
Then I'll tell who I want where to go
            Am7                        D
And I'll forget about your lies and deceit
            Am7               D
And your attempts to be so discreet


[Chorus]

       Am7     D
Maybe today, yeah
              G
I'll slip away…..


[Verse 2]

            Am7                      D
And you can keep your symbols of success
           Am7                   D
Then I'll pursue my own happiness
             Am7                      D
And you can keep your clocks and routines
          Am7                        D     
Then I'll go mend all my shattered dreams
        Am7    D
Maybe today, yeah


[Chorus]

I'll slip away
     G          Am    Bm   Dmadd9 (x2)


[Bridge]

                  G          Am    Bm   Dmadd9
Cause you've been down on me for too long
                G          Am    Bm   Dmadd9
And for too long I just put you on
                G          Am    Bm   Dmadd9
Now I'm tired of lying and I'm sick of trying
                G         Am    Bm   Dmadd9
Cause I'm losing who I really am
                G         Am          G
And I'm not choosing to be like them


[Verse 3]

                Am7                  D
And if you get bored and you got loneliness
           Am7              D
Or it's dislike for me you express
         Am7                         D
I won't care if you're right or you're wrong
          Am7                      D
I won't care cause you see I'll be gone


[Chorus]

      Am7         D
Maybe today, yeah
                 G          Am    Bm   Dmadd9
I'll slip away
      Am7    
Maybe today, yeah
                 G         Am    Bm   Dmadd9
I'll slip away
