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
