Slippery Slope

Intro 
F  C   C   C   G   G   G   F   C 


 
         C 
She's a young girl 

'Bout eighteen 
                             G 
Sitting with a fella in the backseat 

Got the radio playing 

Both of them swaying 
                            F 
To a song about the golden rain 

        C 
It's a big moon 

And a bright sky 
                                   G 
Said they wouldn't do it but they just might 

Fall in love, better hurry up 

Told her daddy she'd be back at midnight 
 

 
 F        C 
Down they go 
 G                                Am 
Can't nobody tell them that they oughtta take it slow 
 F         C 
They just row 
 G 
They don't need a rope 

Going with the flow 
                                         F 
Slipping down and sliding on a slippery slope 
 

 
            C 
Clocks are ticking 

Dad is pacing 
                            G 
Back in the bedroom mama's praying 

Lord just get her home 

Keep her daddy calm 
                               F 
He knows just what that boy's thinking 

       C 
Going too fast 

Making good time 
                               G 
They just crossed the Alabama state line 

What they're headed for 

They're really not sure 

But they're gonna say I do before the morning light 
 

 
 F        C 
Down they go 
 G                                Am 
Can't nobody tell them that they oughtta take it slow 
 F         C 
They just row 
 G 
They don't need a rope 

Going with the flow 
                                         F 
Slipping down and sliding on a slippery slope 

Hey

{Break} 
 G 
Top down side 

Sit so high 
 F 
Close their eyes and take a plunge 
 G 
Leaving all their innocence they're 
 F                   G 
Just headstrong, and so damn young 


 
 F        C   G 
Down they go 
            Am 
Lord, they oughtta take it slow 
     F         C 
But they just row 
 G 
They don't need a rope 

Going with the flow 
                                         F 
Slipping down and sliding on a slippery slope 
     C   C   C 
Yea aye 

G                 G 
 A Slippery slope 
   F     C    C 
Oh oh oh oh 
    G 
Oh ohh 
 

Outro 

Said they wouldn't do it 
                            F   F  G    C 
But they damn sure fell in love
