Intro:
Bb - F - Gm D# Bb F
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
I have lost my dignity
I had before trying
to please everybody
Some say to me
yo yo
I look better when I'm drunk
Some say no no no
I look bad you know
Sometimes I cry
I cry but my crying
never helps me none
Chorus:
'Cos now 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)
