Codine Blues

(intro)  G F C G

        G                       
And my belly is craving, I got a 
    C            G
shakin' in my head,
feel like I'm dyin' and I wish I was
   D  D7
 dead.
      G7                           
If I lived till tomorrow that'll be
          D
 a long time,
         G             F         
but I'll reel and I'll fall and 
C        G
rise on codine,
          G               C       
and it's real, and it's real, one 
      G
more time.

          G                    
Well, when I was a young girl I 
    C             G
learned not to care,
got whiskey, confronted, I often did
   D   D7
 swear.
   G7                              
My mother and father said whiskey 
    D
is a curse,
         G             F        C
but the fate of their baby was 
          G
many times worse,
          G             C         
and it's real, and it's real, one 
     G
more time.

      G7                         C
Stay away from the cities, stay 
            G
away from the towns,
stay away from the men pushin' the 
        D     D7
codine around.
      G7                           
Stay away from the stores where the
            D
 remedy is found,
    G            F           C   
for better your pain than because
      G
 of codine.
          G              C        
and it's real, and it's real, one 
      G
more time.

          G7                       
You'll forget you're a woman, 
     C          G
you'll forget about man,
try it just once, and you'll try it 
  D   D7
again.
               G7               
You'll forget about life, you'll 
             D
forget about time,
                  G         F     
and you will live all your days as
     C         G
 a slave to codeine.
          G              C        
and it's real, and it's real, one 
      G
more time.

( G7 C D D7 )

         G                   C 
But if I die tomorrow, still one 
              G
thing I've done,
I'd heeded the warning that I got 
            D    D7
when I was young.
  G7                               
My one satisfaction that comes when
   D
 I say
          G         F          C 
That I'm living my life with 
         G
abandon to drink
         G             C          
and it's real, and it's real, one 
     G
more time.

       G7                       
And my belly is craving, I got a 
   C            G
shaking in my head
I feel like I'm dyin' and I wish I 
     D   D7
was dead.
     G7                            
If I live till tomorrow that'll be 
        D
a long time,
           G             F        
for I'll reel and I'll fall and 
    C        G
I'll die on codine,
          G               C       
and it's real, and it's real, one 
      G   C G C G
more time.
