Slave - from Playing Possum - 1975
DListening for your footsBm7teps
Just waiDting like a fCool
DBurning with a feG7ver
Only yAou can cool
The clDock beside my piBm7llow
Has tickDed away the nCight
DLike a heartbeat G7mocking me
Until Athe light
Gotta stop these thoAm7ughts about youF  
Gotta learn to liFmaj7ve without you
CGotta find some fFmaj7reedom for this weaAm7ry slave
'Cause I'm huEm7ngry for yAmou
And I'm longiEm7ng for youAm  
And I'm burniEm7ng for youAm  
DI worship your opinBm7ions
And I imDitate your waCys
DI try to make you G7grace me
With a Aword of praise
HoweDver much I tBm7ell myself
That I'm strDong and free and brCave
I'm juDst another woG7man
Raised to bAe a slave
