Capo 4

G
I've looked around

Been all up and down

I never wasted time
          C    C/B Am
On two or three
        G                 D
There's only one girl for me
D/F#  G
There was a time

She used to treat me fine

But lately she's been acting
      C    C/B Am
Awful stone
G
Makes her man
         D
Weep and moan

Chorus:
  G/B    C
I-dee-oh-lay-e-tee
                  G
Idle-liddle-lodle-lay-e-oh-oh-oh-tee
         D
I-dee-oh-lay-e-tee

Lay-e-tee
            D/F#  G
Diddle-odle-lay-e-tee
   D
My Morphine will be
    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
