Black Coffee
-4 6 6 6 -4 -5 -4
I'm feel-in' might-y lone-some,
6 6 6 -4 -5
Have-n't slept a wink.
-4 6 6 6 -4 -5 -5 -5
I walk the floor and watch the door,
-4 6 6 6 -4 -5 6 -7 5
And in be-tween I drink black cof-fee,
-8 7 -7 6 5 -4
Love's a hand-me-down brew
-4 -6 -7 7 -8 -7 6
I'll ne-ver know a Sun-day
5 -7 -6 6 6
In this week-day room
-4 6 6 6 -4 -5 -4
I'm talk-in' to the shad-ows,
6 6 6 -4 -5
One o' clock to four;
-4 6 6 6 -4 -5 -5 -5
And Lord how slow the mo-ments go,
-4 6 6 6 -4 -5 6 -7 5
When all I do is pour black cof-fee,
-8 7 -7 6 5 -4
Since the blues caught my eye.
-4 -6 -7 7 -8 -7 6
I'm hang-in' out on Mon-day
5 5 -7 -6 6 6
My Sun-day dreams to dry.
6 6 7 -7 7 -7 7 -8 -7 6
Now a man is born to love a wo-man,
6 7 -7 7 -8 8 -9 -8
To work and slave to pay her debts;
-8 8 8 8 -8 8 -9 7 -6
And just be-cause he's on-ly hu-man,
7 8 8 8 8 5
To drown his past re-grets
8 -8 -8 -8 -8 -8 -4
In cof-fee and cig-ar-ettes
-4 6 6 6 -4 -5 -4
I'm moon-in' all the mor-nin'
6 6 -4 -5 -5
Mour-nin' all the night;
-4 6 6 6 -4 -5 -5 -5
And in be-tween it's ni-co-tine,
-4 6 6 6 -4 -5 6 -7 5
And not much heart to fight black cof-fee.
-8 7 -7 6 5 -4
Feel-in' low as can be.
5 6 -7 -8 -9 8
It's driv-in' me craz-y'
-7 7 -7 7 -8 -7 6
This wait-in' for my ba-by
5 6 -7 -6 6 6
To may-be come a-round.
