Lyrics
Slow Moving On (2nd fret) By Patrick Welch
Slow Moving On (2nd fret) By Patrick Welch
G Am
You told me you don't care for waltzes
D7 G
Cause Waltzes are slow moving songs
G Am
But a waltz is a song for a lover,
D7 G
And this lover's slow moving on.
G Am
(chorus) I'm moving on, to a slow moving song,
D7 G
Loving takes time, and you sure took mine,
G Am
Count one two three, so quickly you'll see,
D7 G
I will be gone, slow moving on.
Bar roomers all want to boogie,
And the rumors are coming on strong.
To your two for one two timing boogie,
This lover's slow moving on.
(chorus)
Yes, I'm moving on, to this slow moving song.
Looking for one, whose love will be strong,
I'll find you, I know, keep counting so slow,
We'll walk hand in hand, dance to the band. X2
