Lyrics & Chords
Full Song
Verse 1
A E
Down in the jungle where the parrots scream
A E
I met a man who was living a dream
A E
He said, “I’ve got a business proposition
A E
It’ll take you out of your lowly position”
Chorus
D A
Au pays du cocaine, where the money flows like rain
D E
Au pays du cocaine, forgetting all the pain
D A
Au pays du cocaine, living on the edge
D E
Au pays du cocaine, making a solemn pledge
Verse 2
A E
We flew in a plane with the cargo hold full
A E
The engine was droning, the night was so cool
A E
I thought of the money, the houses, the cars
A E
And the glittering life under Southern Cross stars
Chorus
D A
Au pays du cocaine, where the money flows like rain
D E
Au pays du cocaine, forgetting all the pain
D A
Au pays du cocaine, living on the edge
D E
Au pays du cocaine, making a solemn pledge
Bridge
F#m D
Then the sirens wailed, and the searchlights flashed
F#m D E
Our perfect little plan was smashed
A E
Handcuffs in the dawn’s early light
A E
Trading the high life for a long, long night
Verse 3
A E
Now I sit in a cell, counting the years
A E
Haunted by faces, haunted by fears
A E
That man and his dream was nothing but dust
A E
In the land of cocaine, where all men rust
Chorus
D A
Au pays du cocaine, where the money flows like rain
D E
Au pays du cocaine, forgetting all the pain
D A
Au pays du cocaine, living on the edge
D E
Au pays du cocaine, making a solemn pledge
Outro
D A
Au pays du cocaine… …
D E
Au pays du cocaine… …
D A
Au pays du cocaine… …
D E A
Au pays du cocaine…
Practice tip: Master the A, D, and E chords first, as they form the core of the song, before adding the F#m for the bridge.
