Em D
Leadbelly’s in the background being drowned out by the grind
C Em
He’s singing ’bout „Rock Island Line“ nobody seems to pay him any mind
Em D
Bestsellers and bookshelves full of self-help printed word
C Em
Some faint elegance is heard, now was that Ellington or Bird?
C D Bm Em
And has it really come to this? Can ignorance be bliss?
D Bm Em
I’m waiting for - the other shoe to drop
Em6 Cmaj7 B7 Em
Jazz at the bookstore and Blues in the coffee shop
Em6 Cmaj7 B7 Em Em Em

Jazz at the bookstore and Blues in the coffee shop
Em D
There’s a man standing at the crossroads with a dark roast in his hand
C Em
He’s livin’ in white yuppy land over by the milk and sugar stand
C D Bm Em
And have I really come for this, cup of caffenated bliss?
Cmaj7 Am7 Em
So we browse around all over town sipping coffees that we can’t pronounce
Cmaj7 B7
And meanwhile in the Blues Cemetery all the coffins commence to bounce
Em Em Em Em

Em D
Leadbelly’s in the cold ground rolling over in his grave
C Em
The hard road where so many slaved is now so smooth and paved
C D Bm Em
And has it really come to this? Can ignorance be bliss?
D Bm Em
I’m waiting for - the other shoe to drop
Em6 Cmaj7 B7 Em
Jazz at the bookstore and Blues in the coffee shop
Em6 Cmaj7 B7 Em
Jazz at the bookstore and Blues in the coffee shop
Em6 Cmaj7 B7 Em
Jazz at the bookstore - Blues in the coffee shop
