Abba - Slipping Through My Fingers guitar tab

CAPO 1 !!

(VERSE) (A) Schoolbag in (Am/C) hand

She (E) leaves home in the (C#m) early morning

(A) Waving (Am/C) goodbye

With an (E) absent-minded (G#m) smile

(A) I watch her go (Am)

With a (E) surge of that (C#m) well-known sadness

(A) And I have to sit (Bsus4) down (B) for a while (E)

The (A) feeling that I'm (B/D#bass) loosing her (E) forever (G#)

And (A) without really (B) entering her world (E)

I'm (A) glad whenever I (B/D#bass) can share her (E) laughter

That (Bsus4) funny (B) little girl (Esus4) (E)

(CHORUS) (E) Slipping through my (A6) fingers all the (E) time

I try to (G#m) capture every (F#m) minute

The (B) feeling in (E) it

Slipping through my (Bsus4) fingers (B) all the (E) time

Do I really (A6) see what's in her (E) mind

Each time I (G#m) think I'm close to (F#m) knowing

She (A) keeps on (E) growing

Slipping through my (Bsus4) fingers (B) all the (E) time

(VERSE) Sleep in our eyes

Her and me at the breakfast table

Barely awake

I let precious time go by

Then when she's gone

There's that odd melancholy feeling

And a sense of guilt

I can't deny

What happened to the wonderful adventures

The places I had planned for us to go (slipping through my fingers all the time)

Well some of that we did

But most we didn't

And why I just don't know

(CHORUS)

(A) Sometimes I wish that I (B) could freeze the (E) picture (G#)

And (A) save it from the (B) funny tricks of (E) time

(E/G#bass) Slipping through my (A) fing(B) ers (E)

Schoolbag in hand

She leaves home in the early morning

Waving goodbye with an absent-minded (G#m) smile
