Dave Gunning - Time Slips Away Chords

CAPO: 3rd Fret




INTRO: G  D  G    D  Em7  C

  G                              D
I got back into town after seven years on the road
      Em7                                    C
And I walked under the bridge where we first met so long ago


         G                            D
On those summer nights we planned, bonfires in the sand
         Em7                                C              D
And we'd sing and dance for hours, then I'd walk you home


         G                                 D
And we'd take our time, go slow, 'cause we didn't have far to go
        Em7                       C
And the moon lit up the path that lead us to your door


     G    
Last night I went to see if you were home
          D
Just your mother talking on the phone
       Em7                            C                D
To her little girl who moved away and hasn't come back home


CHORUS:
N.C.    C
Oh, the time
        D           Em7
Oh, the time slips away
       C          Am7 G   D
And it leaves you feeling down
           C
But as the time
       D           Em7
As the time slips away
      C                    G       Am7   
Those memories of the past seem to stay
               G     C  G   C
Those memories stay


G                     D
Sometimes I'd go down to the general store
          Em7                          C          
Where I'd cash my week's pay, but it's not there anymore


     G                               D
They had to shut her down, after the new one came to town
              Em7                      C                             D
Nothing but a tired wooden floor and a dust-beam shining through the door


CHORUS:
N.C.    C
Oh, the time
        D           Em7
Oh, the time slips away
       C          Am7 G   D
And it leaves you feeling down
           C
But as the time
       D           Em7
As the time slips away
      C                    G       Am7   
Those memories of the past seem to stay
               G     C  G   C  G   C  Em7
Those memories stay 


BRIDGE:
                        D
Why don't you come back home?
         G                         C
We'll go walking on the beach all alone
          G                 C
And we'll take our time, go slow
          G                 C
'Cause we won't have far to go


CHORUS:
N.C.    C
Oh, the time
        D           Em7
Oh, the time slips away
       C          Am7 G   D
And it leaves you feeling down
           C
But as the time
       D           Em7
As the time slips away
      C                    G       Am7   
Those memories of the past seem to stay
               G     C
Those memories stay 
                   G     C
Oh, those memories stay


OUTRO:
         G                         C 
We'll go walking on the beach all alone
         G                     C 
We'll go walking on the beach
