TITLE: Slip Kid
Lyrics and Chords
I've got my clipboard, text books, lead me to the station
Yeah, I'm off to the civil war
I've got my kit bag, my heavy boots, I'm runnin' in the rain
Gonna run 'til my feet are raw
/ G C Dm FC / / / /
Slip kid, slip kid, second generation
I'm a soldier at thirteen
Slip kid, slip kid, realization
There's no easy way to be free
No easy way to be free
/ C F Eb Bb / C F Gm - / Am D Am D / Am D Bb - / - - G - /
It's a hard, hard world
/ G C Dm FC / /
I left my doctor's prescription bungalow behind me
I left the door ajar
I got my vacuum flask full of hot tea and sugar
Left the keys right in my car
Slip kid, slip kid, second generation
Only half way up the tree
Slip kid, slip kid, I'm a relation
I'm a soldier at sixty-three
No easy way to be free
Slip kid, slip kid
Keep away old man, you won't fool me
Slip kid
You and your history won't rule me
Slip kid
You might have been a fighter, but admit you failed
Slip kid
I'm not affected by your blackmail
You won't blackmail me
/ G - - - / / / / /
{Repeat first verse}
Slip kid, slip kid, slip out of trouble
Slip over here and set me free
Slip kid, slip kid, second generation
You're slidin' down the hill like me
No easy way to be free
No easy way to be free
No easy way to be free
... / Bb - / / /
