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

F A#
Cocaine Carolina, how did I get hooked on you?

F A#
Cocaine Carolina, how did I get hooked on you?
