E    B  A        B              E  B
Slow,    not the meter of today
A                   B         E       C#m  A
But I'm not singing for night anyway
     B          E     A  E  B
This slow, slow tune
E    B      A           B           E         B  A
You,        somewhere in the future listening
           B                  E
I hope the present for you is glistening
      C#m               A
With notes that ring so true
     B          E
This slow, slow tune
A          E    B
Slow, slow tune

[Instrumental]
E   Am   E  Bm Am   B  A

E    B   A        B                E   B  A
Slow,     daddy's playing just for you
            B               E
The tempo's right, I'm in a mellow mood
 C#m  A  B               E    A  E
Ooh,     this slow, slow tune
A
Got to radiate the gold
                   E
Got to radiate the gold
A                  Am   E  B
Got to radiate the gold

E   Am   E   Am   E   Am   B   A

E     A          B                 E   B  A
True,    daddy is singing just for you
       B              E
Do you hear them baby anymore?
  C#m              A          B          E    A  E  B
Now that you've outgrown this slow, slow tune
E     A           B               E    A
Cold,    wear for me that all you own
       B                 E
You decide the pace, you set the tone
    C#m              A
Your future now your own
     B          E
This slow, slow tune
A          E
Slow, slow tune
