Introduction: 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.
