CODINE (Donovan)
Capo 1st fret rhythm \ \/\ \ \/\ \ \/\...
Intro : Cadd2
Cadd2
An' my belly is craving, I got a shakin' in my head
Cadd2
I feel like I'm dyin' an' I wish I were dead
Cadd2
If I lived till tomorrow it's gonna be a long time
Cadd2
For I'll reel and I'll fall and rise on codine
Cadd2 /
An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time
When I was a young man I learned not to care
Wild whiskey "in fronted", I often did swear
My mother and father said whiskey is a curse
But the fate of their baby is many times worse
An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time
You'll forget your woman, you'll forget about man
Try it just once, an' you'll try it again
It's sometimes you wonder and it's sometimes you think
That I'm a-living my life with abandon to drink
An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time
etc... /a* / / /
Stay away from the cities, stay away from the towns
Stay away from the men pushin' the codeine around
Stay away from the stores where the remedy is found
I'll live a few days as a slave to codine
An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time
An' my belly is craving, I've got a shakin' in my head
An' I've started heating whether my body said
Stave yourself with the grains of cocaine
An' you'll end up dead or you'll end up insane
An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time
Repeat first verse..
Enjoy it... Jean-David
