Suckin' (C)wind,

I'm slippin' down the back road once a(F)gain.

And I'm on the (C)run,

Slippin' down the back road in the (F)sun.

And I'm taking (C)flight,

Oh, I'm slipping down the back road in the (F)night.

And I'm running (C)still,

Slipping down and over the (F)hill.

For so (C)long,

Oh, I've been out there looking for a (F)song.

And it's just in(C)sane,

It's like trying to run and chase a moving (F)train.

And you under(C)stand,

Oh, aren't you trying to find the promised (F)land?

And you (C)will,

Slippin' down and over the (F)hill.

Oh, it's (C)over the (F)hill,

(C)Over the (F)hill,

And (C)oh, hell yes, I (F)will, (Dm)

(Bb)Slipping down and (C)over the (F)hill.
