Slip and Roll


From the album ”Charmer” 2012

Capo 4

Intro: D 

            Am    C          G  D
You went from moonlighting
D          Am    C         G  D
but you came out fighting 
D         Am
I saw you larger than life 
G
throwing your knife 
D         Am   G      D
gone into deep hiding 

             Am C         G D
But you were so charming 
D         Am   C      G D
that it was disarming 
           Am
I wondered what was behind 
G
having to find 
D             Am    G      D
 an army that keeps arming 


   Em              G
Oh, Slip and roll, honey 
D              A
stick the jab, kid 
Em               G
don‘t just trade punches 
D                A
like your father did 
C/G                    G
cause this playing the odds 
      D               A
isn’t fooling the gods 
   C                       G                     D
so slip and roll til you’re willing to take the hit 


        Am      C        G     D
So we just keep hoping 
            Am      C         G    D
although the deck’s sloping  
                 Am 
you’re thinking, Throw me a bone 
   G
or leave me alone
   D            Am   G   D      
to do what they call coping 

   Em              G
Oh, Slip and roll, honey 
D              A
stick the jab, kid 
Em               G
don‘t just trade punches 
D                A
like your father did 
C/G                    G
cause this playing the odds 
      D               A
isn’t fooling the gods 
   C                G                     D
so slip and roll til you’re willing to take the hit 


            C        Em       C        Am
And you can take it, take it, take it, take it 
      G              D           Am    Em
we’ve all seen that guy take it on the chin 
    C        Em         C               Am
oh, take it, take it, I know you can take it 
     G            D             Am      D
but when will you take something in
