^Bb But when I try, ^F to leave it ^Gm my friends keep ^D#telling me.. I'm a ^Bbfool amongst ^Ffools

Chorus:

^Bb Now I'm a slave, ^F a slave ^GmI'm a ^D#slave.. I'm a ^Bbliquor ^Fslave

^Bb I'm a slave, ^F a slave ^Gm I'm a ^D#slave.. Just a ^Bbliquor ^Fslave

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)
