Cocaine

Words & Music:

J. J. Cale

The Eric Clapton cover of this from Slowhand is transcribed in Guitar World.

INTRO & MAIN VAMP: E E D E | E D

If you wanna hang out you've got to take her out, cocaine.

If you wanna get down, down on the ground, cocaine.

CHORUS:

E D C B [stop chord]

She don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie: Cocaine!

If you got bad news, you wanna kick them blues, cocaine.

When your day is done and you wanna run, cocaine.

If your thing is gone and you wanna ride on, cocaine.

Don't forget this fact, you can't get it back, cocaine.
