Black Coffee – Rigmor Gustafsson
[C#m7] x 4 intro
[C#m7]
I'm feeling mighty lonesome
[C#m7]
Haven't slept a wink
[C#m7]
I walk the floor & watch the door
[C#m7]
And in between I drink
[F#m7]
Black coffee
[F#m7] [C#m7]
Love's hand-me-down brew
[F#7] [G#7] [G#7] [stop]
Well, I'll never know a Sunday
[F#7] [G#7] [G#7] [stop]
In this weekday rule
[C#m7] x 2
[C#m7]
I'm talking to the shadows
[C#m7]
One o'clock to four
[C#m7]
And lord how slow the moments go
[C#m7]
When all I do is pour
[F#m7]
Black coffee
[F#m7] [C#m7]
Since the blues caught my eye
[F#7] [G#7] [G#7] [stop]
Well I'm hanging out on Monday
[F#7] [G#7] [G#7] [stop]
My Sunday dreams to dry
[C#m7] x 2
[E7] [F#7] [C#7]
Well, a man is born to go on lovin'
[B7] [F#7] [C#7]
A woman's born to weep & fret
[E7] [F#7] [C#7]
To stay home & tend her oven
[F#7] [G7] [G#7]
And drown her past regrets in coffee & cigarettes
[C#m7]
Alone all the morning
[C#m7]
Mourning all the night
[C#m7]
And, in between, it's nicotine
[C#m7]
And not much heart to fight
[F#m7]
Black coffee
[F#m7] [C#m7]
Feeling low as the ground
[F#7] [G#7] [G#7] [stop]
It's drivin' me crazy, this waiting for my baby
[F#7] [G#7] [G#7] [stop]
To maybe come around

[E7] [F#7] [C#7]
My nerves have gone to pieces
[B7] [F#7] [C#7]
My hair is turning gray E7
[E7] [F#7] [C#7]
All I do is drink black coffee
[F#7] [G7] [G#7]
Since my man's gone away...
