Coffee And Wine

Em                       G
Tommy, you know, he had one deaf ear
Am                          Em
Back from his minesweeping days
Em                                
You never could tell just what he 
  G
could and could not hear
Am                              Em
And he intended to keep it that way

      G                  C
He joined the Navy just like his 
Daddy done
     G                       D
When he was of the rightful age
        Em                    G
He took off right quick like many a 
kid did
         D                        
When his parents took hard to the 
C
drink

             Em                    
And now it's coffee like it's fine 
      G
wine, wine like it's water
D                          C
Any time's a good time, so go unlock
 your daughters
         Em                        
With his motorcycle friends, 
  G
they're going off again
         D                        
From the Black Sea all the way to 
C
Britain,
               Em
All the way to Britain

Em                      G
She was a dame of New Jersey fame
Am                            Em
Lived her life like it was a bourre 
game
Em
And if there were sides being taken
     G                             
You better believe you wanna be on 
    Am           Em
the side she was on

          Em                    
She had a short hand that didn't 
  G
suffer no fools
D                             C
She intended to keep it that way



               Em                  
And she drank coffee like it's fine
        G
 wine, wine like it's water
D                           C
Any old time she could have any 
horse she wanted
    Em                          G
And if you gonna’ ride then you ride
 it like you stole it
 D              C
From a steeple chase

    Em                         
She drank coffee like it's fine 
 G
wine, wine like it's water
D                             C
Boys tried to give chase, but no one
 ever caught her
          Em                   G
'Til she found her love, and Sheila 
didn't let Tommy

Their first meeting was hardly a 
 G
word
       D                 C
But he built her a harpsichord
       C                         
And he found her unconscious just 
  G          Em
inside the door
D
And carried her to help

      C             G
Now every now and again
        D                   
She pretends to faint on the 
               C
harpsichord bench
And he picks her up again and 
   G    Em
carries her
D
Up to their bed

                Em                 
And they drink coffee like it’s 
         G
fine wine, wine like it's water
D                        C
Any time's a good time, ‘cause now 
they have a daughter

      G
