Intro
A D E A
[Verse 1]
A D
Morning found me lying on a floor in New Orleans
E A
Looking like the patches was about to eat my jeans
A D
Feeling like my belly was a warehouse for the blues
E A
And I sure miss my sweet Cocaine Carolina
A D
Met her on an ocean liner, called her Cocaine Carolina
E 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
E A
Cocaine Carolina, how did I get hooked on you?
[Chorus]
D A
So goodbye Cocaine Carolina, you and I are through
E A
I'm going back to LA getting clean, what I need to do
D E A
She don't want me for my money, she just wants my body, honey
E 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
E 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?
E A
Maybe I should go back to California
[Chorus]
D A
So goodbye Cocaine Carolina, you and I are through
E A
I'm going back to LA getting clean, what I need to do
D E A
She don't want me for my money, she just wants my body, honey
E A
Cocaine Carolina, how did I get hooked on you?
[Outro]
D A
E A
Cocaine Carolina, how did I get hooked on you?

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