This is a song by Buffy St.
Marie called Codine that I've added my own lyrics to.
Codine.
[Db] [Ab] [Eb]
On the day I was [Db] born, [Cm] the grim [Eb] reaper smiled.
He said, I'll get you [Db] yet, now [Cm] you [Bb] Gemini's child.
[Eb] When I was younger with all my [Ab] brothers, you know, I was [Cm] always left [Bb] behind.
Honey, but [Eb] I caught him.
[Db] Yeah, I passed him [Ab] when I left him.
Left with [Eb] Codine.
And through your [Db]
[Ab]
dreams,
I'm all [Eb] taken.
[Ab] [Eb]
Now I seem to [Db] fall when [Cm]
I was a [Eb] young girl.
How my joy and my [Db] happiness, [Cm] you know, all seemed to [Bb]
whirl.
But [Eb] then some place, [Ab] honey, sometimes, [Cm] somehow it [Bb] seems,
[Eb] Codine [Ab] became the soul I [Ab]
feared.
Just [Eb] imagine, honey, through your [Ab]
dreams.
[Eb] [Bb]
[Eb]
It's the reason [Ab] I breathe, honey, [Cm] it's the reason I [Eb] walk.
It's the reason [Ab] I sleep, [Cm] honey, the reason I [Bb]
talk.
Yeah, [Eb] but soon my [Db] devotion [Ab] will all be [Bb] repaid.
For [Eb] Codine [Db] will kill me, honey, [Ab] that's the bargain.
That we've [Eb] made.
It's reality.
[Ab]
[Eb]
[Ab] [Eb]
And after I'm [Ab] gone and this sad race [Eb] is run.
Guess I'll go down to [Db] hell where [Cm] my life was [Bb]
begun.
There'll be [Eb] somebody [Db] with a child that [Cm] won't leave me alone.
Won't [Eb] go down [Db] the way [Ab] to college.
[Eb]
It's reality.
[Db] [Ab]
One more [Eb] time.
[Ab] [Eb]
And after I'm [Db] gone and the [C]
morning [Eb] sets in.
Don't you mourn what [Db] I was, girl, [Cm] mourn what night it [Bb] been.
[Eb] My [Db] sad heart, [Cm] honey, my tear, it'll feel like.
I'm [Eb] on the Codine that I [Db] need, [Ab] that I crave, that I [Eb]
despise.
Dance through your
[Ab] [Ab]
dreams.
One [Eb] more time.
[Bb] [Ab] [Eb]
Dance through your
[Db] [Ab]
dreams.
One [Eb] more time.
[Bb] [Ab] [Eb]
