I've looked around
Been all up and down

But lately she's been acting
C C/B Am
Awful stone

Makes her man

Weep and moan

D/F# G
The death of me
You should have seen
Me and my Morphine
When we used to
Go dancing in the war
Spin me right off the floor
(Chorus yodel)
My Morphine will be
The death of me
Morphine Morphine
What made you so mean
You never used to
Do me like you do
Where's that sweet gal I knew
(Chorus yodel)
My Morphine will be
The death of me
G
My Morphine
