Intro: [C] [Gm] [C] [Gm] and so on....

[VERSE 1]
I'm [C]feeling mighty [Gm]lonesome
[C] Haven't slept a [Gm]wink
I [C]walk the floor &a[Gm]mp; watch the door
And [C]in between I [Gm]drink
[Cm]Black [F]coffee
[Cm] Love's ha[F]nd-me-down [C]brew[Gm] [C] [Gm]
Well, I'll [Dm]never know a [C]Sunday
[F] In this [G]weekday[C] rule[Gm] [C] [Gm]

[VERSE 2]
I'm [C]talking to the [Gm]shadows
[C] One o'clock to [Gm]four
And [C]oh how slow the [Gm]moments go
[C] When all I do is [Gm]pour
[Cm]Black [F]coffee
[Cm] Since the [F]blues [C]caught my [Gm]eye [C] [Gm]
Well I'm [Dm]hanging out on [C]Monday
[F] My Sunday [G]dreams [C]to d[Gm]ry [C] [Gm]

[BRIDGE]
Well, a [F]man is born to go on [Cm]lovin'
A [Fm]woman's born to weep &a[C]mp; fret
To [Em]stay home & tend [Gm]her lovin'
And [F#]drown her past regrets
In [F]coffee & cigarettes

[VERSE 3]
[C] Alone[Gm] all the morning
[C] Mourning [Gm]all the night
[C] And, in between[Gm] , it's nicotine
[C] And not much heart [Gm]to fight
[Cm]Black [F]coffee
[Cm] Feeling [F]low [C]as the [Gm]ground[C]
It's drivin' me [Gm]crazy, this [Dm]waiting for my [C]baby
[F] To may[G]be [C]come a[Gm]round[C] [Gm]

(repeat Bridge & Verse 3)
