[Bb] [F]
Ministers of religion
[Gm] [D#] [Bb] [F]
have visited me many times to talk about it
[Bb] [F]
They say to me.. I gotta leave it
[Gm] [D#] [Bb] [F]
I gotta leave it.. It's a bad habit for a man
[Bb] [F]
But when I try, to leave it
[Gm] [D#] [Bb] [F]
my friends keep telling me.. I'm a fool amongst fools
Chorus:
[Bb] [F]
Now I'm a slave, a slave
[Gm] [D#] [Bb] [F]
I'm a slave.. I'm a liquor slave
[Bb] [F]
I'm a slave, a slave
[Gm] [D#] [Bb] [F]
I'm a slave.. Just a liquor slave
[Bb] [F]
I have lost my dignity I had before
[Gm] [D#] [Bb] [F]
trying to please everybody
[Bb] [F]
Some say to me yo yo I look better when I'm drunk
[Gm] [D#] [Bb] [F]
Some say no no no I look bad you know
[Bb] [F]
Sometimes I cry.. I cry
[Gm] [D#] [Bb] [F]
but my crying never helps me none 'Cos now
Chorus:
I am a slave, a slave
I'm a slave
I'm just a liquor slave
I am a slave, a prisoner
I'm a slave
Just a liquor slave
Every night when I'm
coming back home
My wife gets worried
'cos she knows
Shes got double trouble
coming home
Sometimes I cry
I cry lord I cry
But my crying
never helps me
Chorus: (till fade)
