When I was a young man I learned not to care

Wild whiskey "in fronted", I often did swear

My mother and 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 and it's sometimes you think

That I'm a-living my life with abandon to drink

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

Dsus2 D G/B D G/B etc... D D/a* D /F /E /D♯ G/B D

Stay away from the cities, stay away from the towns

Stay away from the men pushin' the codeine around

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 craving, I've got a shakin' 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

Repeat first verse..

Enjoy it... Jean-David
