Intro

[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]
