Slave

guitar tabs lyrics

Carly Simon

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
