Capo en 1ª casa

Intro :

D /c /b D

An’ my belly is cravin’, I’ve got a shakin’ in my head

/c /b A

I feel like I’m dyin’ an’ I wish I were dead

D /c /b A

If I live till tomorrow it’s gonna be a long time

D /c /b D

For I reel an’ I fall an’ rise on codine

/c /b F’ G’ F’ D F’ G’ F’ D

An’ it’s real, an’ it’s real, one more time

When I was a young man I learned not to care

While whiskey in fronted I often did swear

My mother an’ 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 an’ it’s sometimes you think

That I’m a-livin’ my life with abandon to drink

Interlude: Only the chords of the descent have been noted, I haven’t tabbed the

beginning which is a variation of the D F’ G’ pattern with a steadier strumming.

These chord deviations are just my best guess; the descent fits in quite well,

though.. try it and see for yourself..

Stay away from the cities, stay away from the towns

Stay away from the men pushin’ the codeine 'round

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 cravin’, I’ve got a shaking 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

An’ my belly is cravin’, I’ve got a shakin’ in my head

I feel like I’m dyin’ an’ I wish I were dead

If I live till tomorrow it’s gonna be a long time

For I reel an’ I fall an’ rise on codine

An’ it’s real, an’ it’s real, one more time

/c /b F’ G’ F’ D F’ G’ F’ G’ F’ G’ G’ F’ D

An’ it’s real, an’ it’s real, one more time
