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