BLACK COFFEE - Peggy Lee
C7#9 Db7#9 C7#9 Db7#9
C7#9 Db7#9
I'm feelin' mighty lonesome
C7#9 Db7#9
Haven't slept a wink
C7#9 Db7#9
I walk the floor and watch the door
C7#9 Db7#9
And in between I drink
F7
Black coffee
C7#9 Db7#9 C7#9 A7b9b5
Love's a hand-me-down brew
Dm7
I'll never know a Sunday
G7b9#5 C7#9 Db7#9 C7#9 Db7#9
In this weekday rule
C7#9 Db7#9
I'm talkin' to the shadow
C7#9 Db7#9
One o'clock till four
C7#9 Db7#9
And Lord, how slow the moments go
C7#9 Db7#9
And all I do is pour
F7
Black coffee
C7#9 Db7#9 C7#9 A7b9b5
Since the blues caught my eye
Dm7
I'm hangin' out on Monday
G7b9#5 C7#9 Db7#9 C7#9 Gb7
My Sunday dreams to dry
Fm7 Cm7
Now man was born to go a lovin'
D7 G7#5 Cmaj7
But was a woman born to weep and fret
Ebm7 Ab7 Dbmaj7
To stay at home and tend her oven
Ebm7 Ab7
And drown her past regrets
Dm7 G7b9
In coffee and cigarettes
C7#9 Db7#9
I'm moonin' all the mornin'
C7#9 Db7#9
Moanin' all the night
C7#9 Db7#9
And in between it's nicotine
C7#9 Db7#9
And not much heart to fight
F7
Black coffee
C7#9 Db7#9
Feelin' low as the ground
C7#9 A7b9b5
It's drivin' me crazy
Dm7
This waitin' for my baby
G7b9#5 C7#9 Db7#9 C7#9 Db7#9
To maybe come around
