GEmAmD Slipping away what can I say
GEmCCmaj7Am Won't you stay inside me month of May
GEmAmA5DG And hold on to me golden day, slippin' away
C/CmajAmA5D Sunshine on my wall
GEmAmD/G to keep my mind on the things I'm saying
C/CmajAmA5DGEmCAm Footsteps in the hall to tell me I've been this way before D nevermore
{Second Verse} GEmAmD Let it rain sweet Mary-Jane
GEmCAm Let it wash your love down all around me
GEmCDG Come inside and put it down. Let it rain
GFCDG I've been trying hard to find a way to let you know
GCFCFCGC/G That we can make it shine most all the time
GFCDG This time 'round I'm searching down to where I used to go
GCFCFCGC/G And it's been on my mind to make it shine
CBbFG You can say I want to be free
BbFG I can say some day I will be
{Get Funky. R&B type strum. Think James Brown} G7 When I catch a common cold
I want to hear a saxophone When I let the good times roll Slide me a bass trombone G7Bb Walk me down old funky street CEb Lord knows I feel good enough to eat G7ABbC7 Hold my soul. I sure am fond of my rock and roll
When I go to sleep at night
I want to hear a slide guitar When I'm feeling loose and right Riding in my automobile Boney Maroney and Peggy Sue Rocking pneumonia and boogey-woogey flu Hold my soul. I'm sure enough fond of my rock and roll Good God
