single-released, 1968

I:

C    G            Em      C       G    
Slow down, you're chasing my life away
                    D7    G7
No time in life for tastin'
C   G        Em          C         G   Em D7  
The sweet perfections of life with you
C    G      Em           C      G     
Slow motion living could not be blue
                    D7   G7
A life's to good to hurry
C   G        Em          C         G   Em D7  
Slow down, slow living is good for you

CHORUS:

G 
Don't try so hard to hit ceiling
C         D       G
(Goin' to get you down)
G
Don't tell me, I know the feeling
 C         D         G
(Sure will bring you down)
G
I'd like to be a goal getter
 C        D        G
(Goin' to tell you now)
G
Slow motion, I can see better
 C         D
(That's to see you)


BRIDGE:

F           A#
I'd like to let you go
         Am           A#
But it's sure there's favour in
        Am             A#              F
Keep it slow, so I get saver in loving you
C    G           Am         C     G
Slow down you're chasing my life away

The sweet perfections of life with you
