[Verse 1]
AI've   A7had
Dno cups of Gcoffee
Put my Dhat on the wrong Afeet
DGrind the water and Gboil the beans
But E7first I'll comb my tA7eeth
[Verse 2]
I    poured    Done cup of Gcoffee
But my Darms were still Aasleep
Poured Dhalf on my lap, hGalf on my shirt
And the E7third half down my sA7leeve
[Chorus]
I got them Ddirty awful rotten coffee blues
DIf you got a cup brother I'lE7l seldom rA7efuse
DThis here machine she Gruns on caffeine
I got them Ddirty rotten A7awful coffee Dblues
[Verse 3]
I   poured   Dthree cups of Gcoffee
Now I'm Dfeelin' purdy Ahot
When it Dboils right down to the Gfinest grounds
I'm E7still an empty A7pot
[Verse 4]
I've had    Dfive cups of Gcoffee
Now I'm Dthinkin' bout my eAighth
KneeDs a-quiverin', tGeeth a-rattlin'
But IE7'll sweat out these A7shakes
[Chorus]
I got them Ddirty awful rotten coffee blues
DIf you got a cup brother I'lE7l seldom rA7efuse
DThis here machine she Gruns on caffeine
I got them Ddirty rotten A7awful coffee bDlues
[Verse 5]
I've  had    elDeventeen cups of Gcoffee
Now I'Dm ready to leave the Ahouse
Lock Dkids in the yard, put thGe dog in the car
And E7I locked my darn self A7out
[Verse 6]
ANow    A7I'm     Dlaid out in a Ggutter
Jus' Dlookin' for a caffeine Afix
GraDb some grounds from the trash, I'll strain 'em Gthrough my sock
and cE7hew right through the A7grits
[Chorus]
I got them Ddirty awful rotten coffee blues
DIf you got a cup brother I'lE7l seldom rA7efuse
DThis here machine she Gruns on caffeine
I got them Ddirty rotten A7awful coffee bDlues
