Coffee and Wine
Em G
Tommy, you know, he had one deaf ear
Am Em
Back from his minesweeping days
Em G
You never could tell just what he could and could not hear
Am Em
And he intended to keep it that way
G C
He joined the Navy just like his Daddy done
G D
When he was of the rightful age
Em G
He took off right quick like many a kid did
D C
When his parents took hard to the drink
Em G
And now it's coffee like it's fine wine, wine like it's water
D C
Any time's a good time, so go unlock your daughters
Em G
With his motorcycle friends, they're going off again
D C
From the Black Sea all the way to Britain,
Em
All the way to Britain
Em G
She was a dame of New Jersey fame
Am Em
Lived her life like it was a bourre game
Em
And if there were sides being taken
G Am Em
You better believe you wanna be on the side she was on
G C
She went to the city for secretary school
G D
Ended up working for the CIA
Em G
She had a short hand that didn't suffer no fools
D C
She intended to keep it that way
Em G
And she drank coffee like it's fine wine, wine like it's water
D C
Any old time she could have any horse she wanted
Em G
And if you gonna’ ride then you ride it like you stole it
D C
From a steeple chase
Em G
She drank coffee like it's fine wine, wine like it's water
D C
Boys tried to give chase, but no one ever caught her
Em G
'Til she found her love, and Sheila didn't let Tommy
D C
Sleep for days

Their first meeting was hardly a word
D C
But he built her a harpsichord
C G Em
And he found her unconscious just inside the door
D
And carried her to help
C G
Now every now and again
D C
She pretends to faint on the harpsichord bench
G Em
And he picks her up again and carries her
D
Up to their bed
Em G
And they drink coffee like it’s fine wine, wine like it's water

Any time's a good time, ‘cause now they have a daughter
Em G
And she rides so fast, they said they gonna name her

Em G
They drink coffee like it’s fine wine, wine like it's water

Don't ask what kind, it's just the kind our parents brought us
Em G
From the Black Sea shore and the girl next door
D C
Who could ride
Em G
They drink coffee like it's fine wine, wine like it's water
D C
Any time's a good time cause now they have a daughter
Em G
And she rides so fast, they said they gonna’ name her

And they drink coffee like it's fine wine, wine like it's water

Em G
From the Black Sea shore and the girl next door

Who could ride...
