[Ab]
[Db]
[B] [Ab]
[Db]
[Ab] And my belly is craving I [Db] got a chicken in [Ab] my head
Feel like I'm dying and wish I [Bbm] was dead
[Abm]
If [Bbm] [Ab] I live till tomorrow, [Db] that'll be a [Bb] long time
[Bbm]
But [Ab] I will and I'll fall and [Db] I'll rise [Ab] on codeine
And it's real, [Db] and it's real [B] one [Ab] more time
Well, when I was a young girl [Db] I learned not [Ab] to care
But whiskey and from it I often did [Db] swear
My
[Ab] mother [Db] said whiskey's a curse
[Bbm]
But [Ab] the fate of their baby [Db] was many [Ab] times worse
And it's real, [Db] and it's real [B] one [Ab] more time
Stay away from the [Abm] cities, [Db] stay away from [Ab] the town
Stay away from the man pushing the codeine [Bbm] around
Stay
[Ab] away from the stores [Db] where the remedy [Bbm] is fine
[Ab] Oh, better you pain than [Db] be caught on [Ab]
codeine
And it's real, and [Db] it's real [Ab] one more time
You'll forget you're a woman, [Db] you'll forget [Ab] about man
Try it just once and you'll try it [Bbm] again
You'll [Ab] forget about life, you'll [Db] forget about [Bbm] time
And [Ab] you'll live off your days [Db] as a slave to [Ab] codeine
And it's real, [Db] and it's [Ab] real one more time
But
[Db]
[Bb]
[Eb]
[Db] if I [Ab] die tomorrow, [Db] still one thing [Ab] I've done
I've heeded the warning that I got when I was young
[Eb] [Bbm] [Abm] My one satisfaction, [Db] it comes when I say
That [Ab] I'm living my life without [Db] [Ab] benediction
And it's real, [Db] and it's real [Abm] one more [Ab] time
And my belly's craving, I [Db] gotta shake it
And [Ab] my head hurts, feel like a kid, I wish I was [Bbm]
dead
[Ab] And [Db] I'll
[Ab]
[Db] die on [Ab] codeine
And it's real, [Db] and it's real [Ab] one more time
[Db] [Abm] [Ab]
[Db]
[B] [Ab]
[N]
