Verse 1:

    G               Em
        People check to tell me
         C         Am        G   Gsus4 G
        What they think is right
        G              Em
        I don't listen to them
          C        Am        G   Gsus4 G
        Don't know day from night

    Am                    C
        I'll go through life searchin'
         Em                 G     
        Tryin' to find the one
         C                 Em
        I'd go slip, slip, you'd go slip, slip
          D  Dsus4 D   D  Dsus4 D
        Away

Chorus:

          Am                D       C       G   Gsus4 G
        And I don't need you to help me find my way
               Am           D          C        G   Gsus4 G
        I can make it if I just don't see your face

   Am       D   C    G Gsus4  G          [2X; w/harmonica 2nd time]
        / / / /  / / / /  / / / /  / / / /

Verse 2:

   Once I had a problem
        Didn't know what to do
        Now I've got no problems
        All I had was you

   Guess I'll keep on searchin'
        And try to find the one
        'Cause I'd go slip, slip, you'd go slip, slip
        Away

[repeat chorus]

Coda:

         Am   D  C     G  Gsus4 G
        Ah ah ah      ah ah ah
              Am   D  C     E [end cold]
        Ah ah ah      ah ah ah
