[C] Cocaine, [E7] cocaine,
[F] 'Round my heart and runnin' [F] 'round my brain,
Co- [C] caine, [G] aw, you ol' co- [C] caine.  [G]  


I [C] woke up this mornin', Lord, I [E7] had a hunger pain.
And [F] all I want for breakfast is my [F] good cocaine,
Co- [C] caine, [G] aw, you ol' co- [C] caine.  [G]  


[C] Jump out of bed, babe, [E7] run downtown;
[F] Take along the money and look [F] all around.
[C] Find the man, [G] the man that sells co- [C] caine.  [G]

[C] Come here, Mama, [E7] come here quick;
[F] That ol' coke's got me and I'm [F] feelin' sick.
Co- [C] caine, [G] aw, you ol' co- [C] caine.  [G]  


[C] Get out of here, Mama, I [E7] thought you understood;
[F] You got no connections then you're [F] no damn good.
Co- [C] caine, [G] aw, you ol' co- [C] caine.  [G]  


[C] Coke's for horses, Lord, it [E7] ain't for men.
[F] They say it kills you, but they [F] don't say when.
Co- [C] caine, [G] aw, you ol' co- [C] caine.  [G]

[C] C'mon, Mama, let's [E7] rent us a boat.
[F] We'll sail down that Gi- [F] braltar moat;
[C] Shed a tear every [G] time we pass [C] Tangiers.  [G]  


[C] Cocaine, [E7] cocaine,
[F] 'Round my heart and runnin' [F] 'round my brain,
Co- [C] caine, [G] aw, you ol' co- [C] caine.  [G]
