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
dont just trade punches
like your father did
cause this playing the odds
isnt fooling the gods
so slip and roll til youre willing to take the hit
Verse 2
So we just keep hoping
although the decks sloping
youre 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
dont just trade punches
like your father did
cause this playing the odds
isnt fooling the gods
so slip and roll til youre willing to take the hit
Bridge
And you can take it, take it, take it, take it
weve 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
dont just trade punches
like your father did
cause this playing the odds
isnt fooling the gods
so slip and roll til youre willing to take the hit
Bridge
And you can take it, take it, take it, take it
weve 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
