Instant Coffee Blues Guy Clark
[Intro]
[D] [A7] [C] [A7]
[Verse 1]
[D]He washed all the road dirt
From his fa[A7]ce and from his neck
And s[C]at down at her table
And s[G]he picked up his check
And she t[D]ook him home for reasons
That she di[A7]d not understand
And h[C]im, he had the answers
But d[A7]id not show his hand
[Cborus 1]
Cause[G] him he knew the tas[F#/G]te of this[Em] wine very we[Em7]ll
It [C]all goes down so easy but the n[Bm]ext day is he[G]ll
[Instrumental]
[D] [A7] [C] [A7]
[Verse 2]
Mornin'
"[D]Man was I drunk,"
She whi[A7]spered in the shower
While he l[C]ay there and smoked his way there
Thr[G]ough the final hour
And s[D]he felt wholly Empty
Like she'd fe[A7]lt it every time
And he was fee[C]ling just the same
Except he's tr[A7]ying to make it rhyme
[Cborus 2]
Ti[G]me was of the essenc[F#/G]e so they bo[Em]th did their best[Em7]
To m[C]eet up in the kitchen feel[Bm]ing fully dresse[G]d
[Verse 3]
S[D]he just had to go to work
And h[A7]e just had to go
And s[C]he knew where and he knew how
To bl[G]ow it off and so
They sh[D]ot the breeze quite cavalier
To the boi[A7]ling of the pot
And sa[C]ng the Instant Coffee Blues
And nev[A7]er fired a shot
[Cborus 3]
And h[G]im he hit the driveway w[F#/G]ith his feel[Em]ings in a case[Em7]
And h[C]er she hit the stop light and touc[Bm]hed up her fa[G]ce
So y[G]ou tell thEm the difference[F#/G] between ca[Em]ring and not[Em7]
And that it's a[C]ll done with mirrors, le[Bm]st they forgo[G]t
I said it's al[G]l done with mirror[F#/G]s, of wh[Em]ich they have non[Em7]e
To[C] blend the instant coffee blues in[Bm]to the morning s[G]un
[Outro]
[D] [A7] [C] [G]
