G                           C
Morning found me lyin' 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

[Verse 2]
C                           G
Met her on an ocean liner, called the Cocaine Carolina
D                              G
She was quite a lady then, and I was twenty-two
C                                G
God knows how much I adored her, I just never could afford her
D                                         G
Cocaine Carolina how did I get hooked on you?

[Chorus 1]
      C                       G
So, goodbye Cocaine Carolina, you and I are through
D                                 G
I'm going back to Sandy Skag, she knows just what to do
C                               G
She don't love me for my money, she just wants my body honey
D                                         G
Cocaine Carolina, how did I get hooked on you?

[Verse 3]
       C                         G
Oh, someone said if I was lucky, I could go back to Kentucky
D                            G
Lexington was famous for its bluegrass and its hills
C                          G
Carolina we should get up, don't you know we'll have to split up
D                         G
Maybe I should go to Californ-ia

[Chorus 2]
      C                       G
So, goodbye Cocaine Carolina, you and I are through
D                                 G
I'm going back to Sandy Skag, she knows just what to do
C                               G
She don't love me for my money, she just wants my body honey
D                                         G
Cocaine Carolina, how did I get hooked on you?
