Thread Name: Lyr Req: Songs about cocaine
Subject: Lyr Add: COCAINE (J. J. Cale, Eric Clapton)
As Steve says, in fairness to the new guy, I went looking and here is what found by J. J. Cale; it is the same one Clapton did:

COCAINE by J. J. Cale

(The main riff is [E] [E] [D] [E], [E] [D] -- play that twice over each line of the verses)

If you wanna hang out you've got to take her out, cocaine.
If you wanna get down, down on the ground, cocaine.
CHO: She don't [E] lie, she don't [D] lie, she don't [C] lie [B] Cocaine!

If you got bad news, you wanna kick them blues, cocaine.
When your day is done and you wanna run, cocaine. CHORUS

If your thing is gone and you wanna ride on, cocaine.
Don't forget this fact, you can't get it back, cocaine. CHORUS (long solo here?)
CHORUS
