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