Coffee and Wine

Em                       GTommy, you know, he had one deaf ear
Am                          EmBack from his minesweeping days
Em                                  GYou never could tell just what he could and could not hear
Am                              EmAnd he intended to keep it that way

      G                  CHe joined the Navy just like his Daddy done
     G                       DWhen he was of the rightful age
        Em                    GHe took off right quick like many a kid did
         D                        CWhen his parents took hard to the drink

             Em                          GAnd now it's coffee like it's fine wine, wine like it's water
D                          CAny time's a good time, so go unlock your daughters
         Em                          GWith his motorcycle friends, they're going off again
         D                        CFrom the Black Sea all the way to Britain,
               EmAll the way to Britain

Em                      GShe was a dame of New Jersey fame
Am                            EmLived her life like it was a bourre game
Em                      And if there were sides being taken
     G                                 Am           EmYou better believe you wanna be on the side she was on

     G                     CShe went to the city for secretary school
       G                  DEnded up working for the CIA
          Em                      GShe had a short hand that didn't suffer no fools
D                             CShe intended to keep it that way



               Em                          GAnd she drank coffee like it's fine wine, wine like it's water
D                           CAny old time she could have any horse she wanted
    Em                          GAnd if you gonna’ ride then you ride it like you stole it
 D              CFrom a steeple chase
       
    Em                          GShe drank coffee like it's fine wine, wine like it's water
D                             CBoys tried to give chase, but no one ever caught her
          Em                   G'Til she found her love, and Sheila didn't let Tommy
  D       CSleep for days

      C                          GTheir first meeting was hardly a word
       D                 CBut he built her a harpsichord
       C                           G          EmAnd he found her unconscious just inside the door
DAnd carried her to help

      C             GNow every now and again
        D                                  CShe pretends to faint on the harpsichord bench
                                 G    EmAnd he picks her up again and carries her
DUp to their bed
