Pink Floyd - One Slip (Gilmour, Manzanera)
[Verse]
Eb Gmadd4
A restless eye across a weary room
Eb Fsus4
A glazed look and I was on the road to ruin
C Eb6 Eb
The music played and played as we whirled without end
F Abadd9
No hint, no word her honour to defend
[Verse]
Eb Gmadd4
I will, I will she sighed to my request
Eb Fsus4 F Fsus4
And then she tossed her mane while my resolve was put to the test
C Eb
Then drowned in desire, our souls on fire, I lead the way to the funeral pyre
F
And without a thought of the consequence, I gave into my decadence
[Chorus]
Cadd9 Ebmaj7/Bb
One slip, and down the hole we fall
Bbadd9 Gmadd9
It seems to take no time at all
Cadd9 Ebmaj7/Bb
A momentary lapse of reason, that binds a life for life
Bbadd9 Gmadd9
A small regret, you won't forget, there'll be no sleep in here tonight
[Instrumental]
Eb Gm/D Gm Eb Gm/D Gm
[Verse]
Eb Gmadd4
Was it love, or was it the idea of being in love?
Eb Fsus4 F Fsus4
Or was it the hand of fate, that seemed to fit just like a glove?
C Eb
The moment slipped by and soon the seeds were sown
F
The year grew late and neither one wanted to remain alone
[Chorus]
Cadd9 Ebmaj7/Bb
One slip, and down the hole we fall
Bbadd9 Gmadd9
It seems to take no time at all
Cadd9 Ebmaj7/Bb
A momentary lapse of reason, that binds life to a life
Bbadd9 Gmadd9
The one regret you will never forget, there'll be no sleep in here tonight
[Outro]
Eb Gm/D Gm Eb Gm/D Gm
