• D

Slave - from Playing Possum - 1975

D                       Bm7
Listening for your footsteps
        D            C
Just waiting like a fool
D                G7
Burning with a fever
      A
Only you can cool

      D               Bm7
The clock beside my pillow
        D            C
Has ticked away the night
D                G7
Like a heartbeat mocking me
      A
Until the light

                    Am7            F
Gotta stop these thoughts about you
                 Fmaj7 
Gotta learn to live without you
C                Fmaj7              Am7
Gotta find some freedom for this weary slave

             Em7       Am
'Cause I'm hungry for you
             Em7       Am
And I'm longing for you
             Em7       Am
And I'm burning for you

D                  Bm7
I worship your opinions
        D            C
And I imitate your ways
D                G7
I try to make you grace me
      A
With a word of praise
    D           Bm7  
However much I tell myself
            D                  C
That I'm strong and free and brave
      D            G7
I'm just another woman
           A
Raised to be a slave

Am    A7               F  
Slave, nothing but a slave
Fmaj7       C
Mind of a slave
Fmaj7       Am
Body of a slave

    D               Bm7
I find I gave away the soul
          D           C
That I wanted you to save
     D             G7
I'm just another woman
                 A
Raised to be a slave
 Em7       Am
Hungry for you
 Em7       Am
And longing for you
 Em7       Am
Burning for you
 Em7       Am
And I'm longing for you
 Em7       Am
burning for you
 Em7       Am
And I'm yearning for you
 Em7       Am
Longing for you
