Black Coffee Ella Fitzgerald
Intro
C Gm C Gm ...
Verse 1
I'm [C]feeling mighty [Gm]lonesome
[C]Haven't slept a w[Gm]ink
I [C]walk the floor &a[Gm]mp; watch the door
And [C]in between I [Gm]drink
[F7]Black coffee
[F7]Love's a hand-me-down br[C]ew[Dm] [Em] [Bb] [F]
Well, I'll n[Gm]ever know a Su[Dm9]nday
[F7]In this we[G]ekday r[C]ule[Gm] [C] [Gm]
Verse 2
I'm[C] talking to the[Gm] shadows
One[C] o'clock to fou[Gm]r
And[C] oh how slow th[Gm]e moments go
Whe[C]n all I do is p[Gm]our
[F7]Black coffee
[F7]Since the blues caught m[C]y eye[Dm] [Em] [Bb] [F]
Well I'm han[Gm]ging out on Mo[Dm9]nday
[F7]My Sunday [G]dreams [C]to dr[Gm]y[C] [Gm]
Bridge
Well, a [F]man is born to go on lov[Cm]in'
A wo[Fm]man's born to w[Ab]eep &[C]; fret
To stay [Ab]home & tend he[Fm]r lovin'
And drown h[Ab]er past regrets
In coffe[G]e & cigarettes
Verse 3:
Alo[C]ne all the morn[Gm]ing
Mou[C]rning all the n[Gm]ight
And[C], in between, i[Gm]t's nicotine
And[C] not much heart[Gm] to fight
[F7]Black coffee
[F7]Feeling low as the groun[C]d[Dm] [Em] [Bb] [F]
It's drivin'[Gm] me crazy, thi[Dm9]s waiting for my baby
[F7]To maybe c[G]ome aro[C]und[Gm] [C] [Gm]
