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