People are talking about us

What did we do that's wrong, so wrong
A                    B                  E D A
Now we've got a reputation about a mile long
         E
When we find ourselves on that one way street

We're both headed for trouble, you see
            A
And it's so easy to find
     B                      E    D  A
You walking so close to the line
         C#m G#m      D            A
And it's too late now what can you say
      C#m      G#m  D         A
I can feel our love slippin' away
    C#m        G#m               D       A
And something inside say's I'm a fool to stay
E                D       A         E D A E
The one that you love is slippin' away
E
Last summer when we stayed out all night

Telling our stories until daylight
        A
And you told me you loved me
B                        E  D   A
Everything would be all right
E
You know that sneaking away to have a good time
E
Sometimes you know we just got to unwind
          A 
And it's just not so easy
    B                       E
You walkin' so close to the line
         C#m G#m      D            A
And it's too late now what can you say
      C#m      G#m  D         A
I can feel our love slippin' away
C#m       G#m                D       A
Something inside say's I'm a fool to stay
    E            D       A         E
The one that you love is slippin' away

Slippin' away

SOLO

         C#m G#m      D            A
And it's too late now what can you say
      C#m      G#m  D         A
I can feel our love slippin' away
C#m       G#m                D       A
Something inside say's I'm a fool to stay
    E            D       A         E
The one that you love is slippin' away
    E            D       A        E  
The one that you love is slippin' away
    E            D       A        E
The one that you love is slippin' away
    E            D       A         E
The one that you love is slippin' away


From Chris Hillman "Slippin' Away"
Asylum Records 1976



 
Slippin' AwayArtist Chris HillmanAlbum Title Slippin' AwayDate of 
Release 1976 (release) inprintAMG Rating (Good)Genre Rock,
CountryStyles
 Progressive Bluegrass, Progressive Country, Country-Rock
AMG REVIEW: Having recently departed Souther, Hillman, & Furay, this 
album more heavily reflects his association with Manassa than anything

he did with SH&F. A nice batch of songs overall but the high point for

me is the killer version of the bluegrass standard "Take Me in Your 
Lifeboat" that closes the album. -- Jim Worbois, All-Music Guide
