[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
