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...
