Capo 5th fret (sounding key F major)
Standard fingerpicking. The F chord is fingered with an open 5th string (A) in the bass
This, and the hammer-ons, requires the chord to be played using the thumb on the 6th string.
The intro is in principle what is played for the verses (beginning from measure 3),
the interlude is also the refrain. And, yes, he does sing the two 10th street verses in a
without a refrain between them. The last "refrain" is really just mumbling over the
interlude (which then isn't an interlude anymore, but a postlude).

Yonder come a baby all dressed in white,
hey baby won't you stay all night.
Cocaine all around my brain.
Hey mama, won't you come here quick.
This old cocaine is making me sick.

Yonder come a baby all dressed in blue.
Hey baby, what you're gonna do?
Cocaine all around my brain.
Hey baby, won't you come here quick.
This old cocaine is making me sick.
Cocaine all around my brain.
Well up and down 10th street, turned down main,
looking for a guy they call Cocaine.
Cocaine all around my brain.
Then I walked down 10th street, turned down Beale,
looking for a guy they call Lucille.
Cocaine all around my brain.
