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

F# B

Cocaine Carolina, how did I get hooked on you?
