An� my belly�����







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

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

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