The Slide Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][Am]
[D][G]

[Verse 1]
When [G]you're too
old for the swings
[C]You tend to choose the slide
And [Am]they never seem to warn you
[G]The slide's your final ride
And when you're at the top of it
And you [C]cannot see the end
[Am]Either don't let go son [G]- Or grab
the nearest friend
The slide is no respecter of
[C]dignity or class
[Am]As soon as you sit down on it
[D]Tha[G]t slide has got your ass

[Verse 2]
Don't take [G]the slide, don't take the [C]slide
[Am]Heroes and villains have
tried an[G]d cried
A broken soul at the bottom lies [C]denied
Don't take [Am]the slide,

[Interlude 1]
don't take the slide
[G][C][Am][G]

[Verse 3]
When [G]the slide was invented
[C]A thousand drinkers sighed
[Am]They thought they had the copyright
On [G]the very word the slide
It's a picture of innocence
On which the [C]innocent have fried
[Am]Take the helter skelter son
It's [G]easier than the slide
Advice to listening parents
Or the [C]father of the bride
[Am]Let them marry anyone
But don't [G]let her take the slide

[Verse 4]
Don't take [G]the slide,
don't take the [C]slide
[Am]Heroes and villains have tried
an[G]d cried
A broken soul at the bottom
lies [C]denied
Don't take [Am]the slide,

[Interlude 2]
don't take the slide
[G][C][Am][G]

[Verse 5]
It'll [G]take you much much lower
Than you [C]ever would have asked
'Cause [Am]as soon as you sit down on it
[G]The slide has got your ass
- It's customers are fools
And every [C]one of them deceased
[Am]The long and silver murderer
[G]The devil must have greased

[Interlude 3]
[G][C][Am][G]

[Verse 6]
Don't take [G]the slide,
don't take the [C]slide[Am]
Heroes and villains [D]have tried [G]an d cried
A pile of broken souls at the bottom
it [C]denied
[Am]Don't take the slide,
don't take [G]the slide

[Verse 7]
Don't take [C]the slide, don't take the slide
[Am]Heroes and villains have tried
and [G]cried
A broken soul at the bottom it [C]denied
Don't take [Am]the slide, don't take the slide
