^{Key: :[D#] (w: Eric Clapton)}
INTRO: [D# x4]

VERSE 1:
Well if you're [D#] looking for a winner
Then you [A#] know you've got to go with [D#] me [D#]
I've got more [D#] ashes than Wednesday
You [D#] know I can brew my [A#] tea [A#]

PRE-CHORUS 1:
Well I'm [G#] fixing to teach you every-[G#]-thing I know
I'll [D#] take you with me baby every-[D#]-where I go
If I can [D#] catch you for a minute
I [A#] know you'll take a chance with [D#] me ^[D#]^[A#]

CHORUS
So slow [D#] down, slow [D#] down, slow down [G#] Linda [G#]
[A#] Don't you think that you could [A#] save a little time with [D#] me [D#]
Slow [D#] down, slow [D#] down, slow down [G#] Linda [G#]
[A#] Don't you know that I've been [A#] waiting for your compan-[D#]-y [D#]

VERSE 2:
I've seen you [D#] speeding down the highway
When you [A#] ought to dig the scener-[D#]-y [D#]
And you can [D#] wolf down your dinner
In the [D#] time it takes to drink my [A#] tea [A#]

PRE-CHORUS 2:
You're [G#] always rushin' 'round every-[G#]-where you go
You [D#] leave me eating dirt on the [D#] side of the road
I can't keep [D#] running much longer
You [A#] always go too fast for [D#] me ^[D#]^[A#]

REPEAT CHORUS:

BRIDGE:
[G#] I think that you're [G#] getting to old to be [D#] running around [D#]
[G#] I think it's [F] time you thought about [A#] settling [A#] down
So slow [D#] down, slow [D#] down, slow down [G#] Linda [G#]
[A#] Don't you know that I've been [A#] waiting for your compan-[D#]-y [D#]

You're [G#] always rushin' 'round every-[G#]-where you go
