Coffee and Wine Chadwick Stokes
[Em]Tommy, you know, he had o[G]ne deaf ear
[Am]Back from his minesweeping d[Em]ays
[Em]You never could tell just what he co[G]uld and could not hear
[Am]And he intended to keep it that [Em]way
He joi[G]ned the Navy just l[C]ike his Daddy done
When [G]he was of the rightful a[D]ge
He took [Em]off right quick like m[G]any a kid did
When his [D]parents took hard to the [C]drink
And now it's [Em]coffee like it's fine wine, [G]wine like it's water
[D]Any time's a good time, so [C]go unlock your daughters
With his [Em]motorcycle friends, they're [G]going off again
From the [D]Black Sea all the way to [C]Britain,
All the way to [Em]Britain
[Em]She was a dame of New Je[G]rsey fame
[Am]Lived her life like it was a b[Em]ourre game
[Em]And if there were sides being taken
You b[G]etter believe you wanna be on the [Am]side she was [Em]on
She w[G]ent to the city for se[C]cretary school
Ended u[G]p working for the C[D]IA
She had a [Em]short hand that didn't s[G]uffer no fools
[D]She intended to keep it that w[C]ay
And she drank c[Em]offee like it's fine wine, w[G]ine like it's water
[D]Any old time she could have [C]any horse she wanted
And [Em]if you gonna? ride then you [G]ride it like you stole it
F[D]rom a steeple c[C]hase
She [Em]drank coffee like it's fine [G]wine, wine like it's water
[D]Boys tried to give chase, but [C]no one ever caught her
'Til she f[Em]ound her love, and Sh[G]eila didn't let Tommy
Sl[D]eep for [C]days
*Interlude* G D C Em G D C
[G] [D] [C] [Em] [G] [D] [Em]
Their [C]first meeting was hardly a [G]word
But he [D]built her a harpsi[C]chord
And he [C]found her unconscious just i[G]nside the d[Em]oor
[D]And carried her to help
Now ev[C]ery now and ag[G]ain
She pret[D]ends to faint on the harpsichord be[C]nch
And he picks her up again and car[G]ries [Em]her
[D]Up to their bed
And they drink c[Em]offee like it?s fine wine, w[G]ine like it's water
[D]Any time's a good time, ?[C]cause now they have a daughter
And she ri[Em]des so fast, they said they [G]gonna name her
[D]Farl[C]ey
They drink c[Em]offee like it?s fine wine, w[G]ine like it's water
[D]Don't ask what kind, it's j[C]ust the kind our parents brought us
From the Bl[Em]ack Sea shore and the girl n[G]ext door
W[D]ho could r[C]ide
They drink c[Em]offee like it's fine wine, w[G]ine like it's water
[D]Any time's a good time cause n[C]ow they have a daughter
And she ri[Em]des so fast, they s[G]aid they gonna? name her
[D]Farl[C]ey
And they drink c[Em]offee like it's fine wine, w[G]ine like it's water
[D]Don't ask what kind, it's just the k[C]ind our parents brought us
From the B[Em]lack Sea shore and the girl n[G]ext door
[D]Who could [C]ride...
[Em]
