    Hey friends, Willi here. Thanks to all who asked for the chords to this song. I hope you play it in good health for your pals and lovers.
    It's a true story, so I'm really glad folks are connecting with it enough to play it. Don't be strangers, y'all, and stay western AF in yer way. See ya down the line.
    the chords...
    Cheap Cocaine
    G C G
    Eight miles out of Galesburg, I'm starin' at the rain,
    G D G
    Eight-ball left of the cheap cocaine,
    G C G
    And I'm lookin' at the sunlight, light through the pines:
    G D G
    Couldn't tell ya what it is, but it's always been mine.
    G C G
    Now that I'm gone I think of the man
    G D G
    With a meth pipe clutched in his bone-thin hand,
    G C G
    I said, hey brother, I hope you get straight
    G D G
    But I bet I don't meet him at the pearly gates.
    Chorus:
    G Bm
    I sing: Hey mamma I been starin' at the rain,
    C D G
    A little heartbreak, a little soul pain,
    G Bm
    I been up all night on the cheap cocaine,
    C D G
    Tryna make it better but it's always the same.
    G C G
    Well I made a few new friends in a Rockford bar,
    G D G
    I told 'em all lies, I said I was in charge
    G C G
    Of the afterparty, where the gals would be loose,
    G D G
    I partied with the metalheads with gin and juice.
    G C G
    Hung over as hell, I slept in shit on the lawn,
    G D G
    I'm tired of twenty-somethins and their punkrock songs.
    G C G
    Wake up in the mornin' and stumble towards the down,
    G D G
    sayin' 'how ya doin, boy, it's been too long."
    Chorus:
    G Bm
    I sing: Hey mamma I been starin' at the rain,
    C D G
    A little heartbreak, a little soul pain,
    G Bm
    I been up all night on the cheap cocaine,
    C D G
    Tryna make it better but it's always the same.
    G C G
    On the streets of Chicago with sidekick Sally
    G D G
    I was hittin' up the bars on Viagra Alley
    G C G
    Where the men pick up women not half their age.
    G D G
    All I had for them was my tears and my rage.
    G C G
    And I thought it was a fight, so I went for my knife,
    G D G
    And the man shook my hand with his kids and his wife.
    G C G
    And I was so ashamed that I hung back and cried,
    G C G
    Leave all that to Saint Peter, wait till I die.
    Chorus:
    G Bm
    I sing: Hey mamma I been starin' at the rain,
    C D G
    A little heartbreak, a little soul pain,
    G Bm
    I been up all night on the cheap cocaine,
    C D G
    Tryna make it better but it's always the same.
    Ending:
    G Bm
    I been up all night, I been starin' at the sky,
    C D G
    And I’m so lonely, but I couldn't tell you why.

    Thanks Willi, I'm loving the story you tell. Old punks emerging from the circle dance and baring their souls. We all ended up in the pit for the same reasons, trying to release our anger and rage. Some of us made it out, after realizing what came with the downward spiral of that circle dance. I appreciate your fighting through, and I'm thankful that you made it out.

    Thanks for this Willi, what a great song. I was into Punk Rock, playing in bands for 30 odd years before discovering country a couple of years ago, swapping my Gibson SG for a Martin D28. Looking forward to seeing you at the Louisiana in Bristol here in the UK.

    I’m listening to this as I finish that last beer because everything’s closed. Tomorrow I’m going to see the biggest trees in the world. Finally getting away and wondering this big rock we live on. Everyday before this post has been pretty bad. A few generations of abuse and domestic violence. Everyone in my tree taking arms against one another. Tomorrow I get my freedom even just for a while. That’s for all of you. Much love everyone.
