Capo 4th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

Intro

 You went from moonlighting

but you came out fighting

I saw you larger than life

throwing your knife

gone into deep hiding

 But you were so charming

that it was disarming

 I wondered what was behind

having to find

an army that keeps arming

Chorus

 Oh, Slip and roll, honey

stick the jab, kid

don‘t just trade punches

like your father did

cause this playing the odds

 isn’t fooling the gods

 so slip and roll til you’re willing to take the hit

Verse 2

 So we just keep hoping

 although the deck’s sloping

 you’re thinking, Throw me a bone

 or leave me alone

 to do what they call coping

Chorus

 Oh, Slip and roll, honey

stick the jab, kid

don‘t just trade punches

like your father did

cause this playing the odds

 isn’t fooling the gods

 so slip and roll til you’re willing to take the hit

Bridge

 And you can take it, take it, take it, take it

 we’ve all seen that guy take it on the chin

 oh, take it, take it, I know you can take it

 but when will you take something in

Solo

Chorus

 Oh, Slip and roll, honey

stick the jab, kid

don‘t just trade punches

like your father did

cause this playing the odds

 isn’t fooling the gods

 so slip and roll til you’re willing to take the hit

Bridge

 And you can take it, take it, take it, take it

 we’ve all seen that guy take it on the chin

 oh, take it, take it, I know you can take it

 but when will you take something in

 but when will you take something in
