* Verse 1 A7 (6), Bb7 (6)
I'm feeling mighty lonesome,
A7 (6), Bb7 (6)
Haven't slept a wink.
A7 (6), Bb7 (6)
I walk the floor and watch the door,
A7 (6), Eb7 (9)
And in between, I drink
D7 (9) (two bars)
Black coffee,
Love's a hand-me-down broom.
A7 (6), Bb7 (6), A7 (6), F# dim9
Bmin7
I'll never know a Sunday
A7 (6)
In this weekday room.

* Break Repeat 1st four chords of intro

* Verse 2 I'm talking to the shadows
From 1 o'clock to 4,
And Lord, how slow the moons go
When all I do is pour
Black coffee,
Since the blues caught my eye,
I'm hanging out on Monday
My Sunday dreams to dry.

* Break 2 (Pedal point on A)
Bbdim, Adim, Abdim, Gdim, F#dim, Fdim, Amaj6, Eb7/9

* Bridge Dmin6, Amin6
Now, a man is born to go a lovin'.
Dmin6 3rd inv., E7, Amaj6
A woman's born to weep and fret,
Cmin7, B7, Bb7, Bb
To stay home and tend her oven
Cmin7, F7 (9)
And drown her past regrets
Bmin7, E7 (9)
In coffee and cigarettes.

* Repeat 1st break

* Verse 3 I'm moaning all the morning,
Moaning all the night,
And in between it's nicotine
With not much heart to fight.
Black coffee,
Feeling low as the ground.
It's driving me crazy,
This waiting for my baby
To maybe come around.

* Outro (Repeat 1st 4 chords of intro 7 times)
To maybe come around.
Pour me black coffee
And I'll come around.

Eb7 (9), D7 (9), 2, C7 (9), B/Cmin6, 3rd inv., 3, 4
