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

D# G#
Cocaine Carolina, how did I get hooked on you?
C# G#
D# G#
Cocaine Carolina, how did I get hooked on you?
