Guitar chords Cocaine

Cocaine was originally written and recorded by J.J. Cale in 1976, and is best known for Eric Claptons version. The song deals with the theme of cocaine addiction in an ambiguous manner, leading to different interpretations of whether it condemns or glorifies drug use. Clapton, who recorded the song for his 1977 album Slowhand, has expressed in interviews that the song is an anti-drug message.
