Cocaine Tabs & Lyrics by Jackson Browne
Cocaine
guitar tabs lyrics
Hi all! This is not how jackson plays it, it is a simplyfied version acoustic guitar
basic chords.
The chords are G, D, and C. You can add in solos between verses if you like, anything in
scale of G works well. You can use any basic strumming rythms. It helps to get quieter
slower towards the end of the piece.
It's a very free-flowing song, so it helps to experiment to get your own style of playing.
