[Verse 1]
E E7 Gb E An' my belly is craving, I got shakin' in my head E E7 Gb B7 I feel like I'm dyin' an' I wish I were dead E E7 Gb B7 If I lived till tomorrow it's gonna be a long time E E7 Gb E For I'll reel and I'll fall and rise on codine E Gb E An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time
[Verse 2]
E E7 Gb E When I was a young man I learned not to care E E7 Gb B7 Wild whiskey, confronted I often did swear E E7 Gb B7 My mother and father said whiskey is a curse E E7 Gb E But the fate of their baby is many times worse E Gb E An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time
[Verse 3]
E E7 Gb E You'll forget your woman, you'll forget about man E E7 Gb B7 Try it just once, an' you'll try it again E E7 Gb B7 It's sometimes you wonder and it's sometimes you think E E7 Gb E That I'm a-living my life with abandon to drink E Gb E An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time
[Verse 4]
E E7 Gb E Stay away from the cities, stay away from the towns E E7 Gb B7 Stay away from the men pushin' the codine around E E7 Gb B7 Stay away from the stores where the remedy is found E E7 Gb E I will live a few days as a slave to codine E Gb E An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time
[Verse 5]
E E7 Gb E An' my belly is craving, I've got a shakin' in my head E E7 Gb B7 An' I've started heating whether my body said E E7 Gb B7 Steady yourself with the grains of cocaine E E7 Gb E An' you'll end dead or you'll end up insane E Gb E An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time
[Verse 6]
E E7 Gb E An' my belly is craving, I got shaking in my head E E7 Gb B7 I feel like I'm dyin' an' I wish I were dead E E7 Gb B7 If I lived till tomorrow it's gonna be a long time E E7 Gb E For I'll reel and I'll fall and rise on codine E Gb E An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time E Gb E An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time
