Intro: Bm7 D9 E7 Bm5-/7 A F#7 Bm7 F7 E7
A G A Bb9
I'm feelin' mighty lonesome, haven't slept a wink
A G A A9
I walk the floor and watch the door, in between I drink
D9 Dm Dm6 A Bb9 A F#7
Black coffee love's a hand-me-down broom
Bm7 D9 E7 Bm5-/7 A F#7 Bm7 F7 E7
I'll never know a Sunday in this weekday room
A G A Bb9
I'm talkin to the shadow one o'clock till four
A G A A9
And Lord, how slow the moments go when all I do is pour
D9 Dm Dm6 A Bb9 A F#7
Black coffee since the blues caught my eye
Bm7 D9 E7 Bm5-/7 A G#7 G7 F#7 F7 E7 A
I'm hangin' out on Monday my Sunday dreams to dry
Bridge:
Bb9 Dm Dm7 A
Now man is born to come alovin'
Dm Dm7 Gdim A
And a woman's born to weep and fret
F7 Bb
To stay at home and tend her oven
F7 Gdim F7 E7 Fdim E7
And drown her past regrets in coffee and cigarettes
A G A Bb9
I'm moonin' all the mornin', moanin' all the night
A G A A9
And in between it's nicotine and not much heart to fight
D9 Dm Dm6 A Bb9 A
Black coffee feelin' low as the ground
C#7 G7 F#7 D9 Bm5-/7 E7
It's drivin' me crazy, this waitin' for my baby
Fdim E7 Bm5-/7 A F#7 Bm7 E7 Fdim A F#7 Bm7 F7 E7 A
'Til he come around, 'til he come around
