Black Coffee Chords

(ver. 2)
Ella Fitzgerald
Intro
C  Gm  C Gm ...


Verse 1
    C              Gm
I'm feeling mighty lonesome
C                Gm
Haven't slept a wink
  C                Gm
I walk the floor & watch the door
    C            Gm
And in between I drink
F7
Black coffee
F7                      C       Dm      Em      Bb  F
Love's a hand-me-down brew
            Gm            Dm9
Well, I'll never know a Sunday
F7        G      C    Gm   C   Gm
In this weekday rule


Verse 2
   C              Gm
I'm talking to the shadows
   C              Gm
One o'clock to four
   C              Gm
And oh how slow the moments go
   C              Gm
When all I do is pour 
F7
Black coffee
F7                      C       Dm      Em      Bb  F
Since the blues caught my eye
            Gm            Dm9
Well I'm hanging out on Monday
F7        G      C    Gm   C   Gm
My Sunday dreams to dry


Bridge
        F                       Cm
Well, a man is born to go on lovin'
    Fm             Ab      C
A woman's born to weep & fret
        Ab                Fm
To stay home & tend her lovin'
           Ab
And drown her past regrets
        G
In coffee & cigarettes


Verse 3: 
   C              Gm
Alone all the morning
   C              Gm
Mourning all the night
   C              Gm
And, in between, it's nicotine
   C              Gm
And not much heart to fight
F7
Black coffee
F7                      C       Dm      Em      Bb  F
Feeling low as the ground
            Gm            Dm9
It's drivin' me crazy, this waiting for my baby
F7        G      C    Gm   C   Gm
To maybe come around


Bridge (Repeat):
        F                       Cm
Well, a man is born to go on lovin'
    Fm             Ab      C
A woman's born to weep & fret
        Ab                Fm
To stay home & tend her lovin'
           Ab
And drown her past regrets
        G
In coffee & cigarettes


Verse 3 (Repeat):
   C              Gm
Alone all the morning
   C              Gm
Mourning all the night
   C              Gm
And, in between, it's nicotine
   C              Gm
And not much heart to fight
F7
Black coffee

Feeling low as the ground
            Gm            Dm9
It's drivin' me crazy, this waiting for my baby
F7        G      C    Gm   C   Gm
To maybe come around

My nerves have gone to pieces

My hair is turning grey

All I do is drink black coffee

Since my man's gone away...
