Codine Blues

(intro)  G F C G 

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

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

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

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

( G7 C D D7 ) 

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

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