Jackson Browne

Cocaine Ukulele Chords

Hi all! This is not how jackson plays it, it is a simplyfied version acoustic guitar 
basic chords.

The chords are G, D, and C. You can add in solos between verses if you like, anything in 
scale of G works well. You can use any basic strumming rythms. It helps to get quieter 
slower towards the end of the piece.

It's a very free-flowing song, so it helps to experiment to get your own style of playing.
