Bm7 F7 E7

   A          G       A        
I'm feelin' mighty lonesome, haven't
Bb9
 slept a wink
  A              G        A      
I walk the floor and watch the 
   A9
door, in between I drink
   D9     Dm         Dm6      A  
Black coffee  love's a 
 Bb9  A F#7
hand-me-down broom
     Bm7       D9   E7      
I'll never know a Sunday   
Bm5-/7     A F#7  Bm7 F7 E7
in this weekday room
   A           G    A        Bb9
I'm talkin to the shadow one o'clock
 till four
  A           G          A      
And Lord, how slow the moments go 
A9
when all I do is pour

   D9     Dm          Dm6    
Black coffee    since the blues 
      A  Bb9  A F#7
caught my eye
   Bm7          D9  E7       
I'm hangin' out on Monday   
Bm5-/7    A G#7 G7  F#7 F7 E7 A
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       
And drown her past regrets in 
Fdim   E7
coffee and cigarettes
   A          G      A          
I'm moonin' all the mornin', moanin'
Bb9
 all the night
  A          G          A         
And in between it's nicotine and 
 A9
not much heart to fight
   D9     Dm        Dm6          
Black coffee  feelin' low as the 
A  Bb9 A
ground
     C#7      G7   F#7       D9 
It's drivin' me crazy, this 
     Bm5-/7   E7
waitin' for my baby
Fdim     E7 Bm5-/7    A   F#7  
'Til he come     around,       
  Bm7     E7 Fdim     A F#7 Bm7 
    'til he come around
