Black Coffee – Rigmor Gustafsson
 C#m7x 4 intro
I'm fC#m7eeling mighty lonesome
     C#m7Haven't slept a wink
I C#m7walk the floor & watch the door
And C#m7in between I drink
    F#m7Black coffee
    F#m7Love's hand-me-dowC#m7n brew
              F#7      G#7   G#7[stop]
Well, I'll never know a Sunday
 F#7      G#7   G#7[stop]
                In this weekday rule
 C#m7x 2
I'm tC#m7alking to the shadows
     C#m7One o'clock to four
And C#m7lord how slow the moments go
 C#m7When all I do is pour 
F#m7Black coffee
  F#m7Since the blues cauC#m7ght my eye
              F#7      G#7   G#7[stop]
Well I'm hanging out on Monday
 F#7      G#7   G#7[stop]
                My Sunday dreams to dry
 C#m7x 2
E7Well, a man is F#7born to go on lC#7ovin'
B7A woman's boF#7rn to weep & fC#7ret
E7To stay home F#7& tend her oC#7ven
And F#7drown her pG7ast regreG#7ts in coffee & cigarettes
C#m7Alone all the morning
     C#m7Mourning all the night
C#m7And, in between, it's nicotine
     C#m7And not much heart to fight
F#m7Black coffee
  F#m7Feeling low as the groC#m7und
              F#7      G#7   G#7[stop]
It's drivin' me crazy, this waiting for my baby
              F#7      G#7   G#7[stop]
 To maybe come around
