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.
