Intro
F A# C F
[Verse 1]
F A#
Morning found me lying on a floor in New Orleans
C F
Looking like the patches was about to eat my jeans
F A#
Feeling like my belly was a warehouse for the blues
C F
And I sure miss my sweet Cocaine Carolina
F A#
Met her on an ocean liner, called her Cocaine Carolina
C F
She was quite a lady then and I was twenty-two
F A#
God knows how much I adored her, I just could not afford her
C F
Cocaine Carolina, how did I get hooked on you?
[Chorus]
A# F
So goodbye Cocaine Carolina, you and I are through
C F
I'm going back to LA getting clean, what I need to do
A# C F
She don't want me for my money, she just wants my body, honey
C F
Cocaine Carolina, how did I get hooked on you?
[Verse 2]
A# F
Oh someone said if I was lucky, I could go to Kentucky
C F
Lexington was famous for its strip clubs and its pills
A#
Carolina, we should get up
F
Don't you know we'll have to split up?
C F
Maybe I should go back to California
[Chorus]
A# F
So goodbye Cocaine Carolina, you and I are through
C F
I'm going back to LA getting clean, what I need to do
A# C F
She don't want me for my money, she just wants my body, honey
C F
Cocaine Carolina, how did I get hooked on you?
[Outro]

Cocaine Carolina, how did I get hooked on you?
