Coffee, Coffee, Coffee

(Tom T. Hall)

Tabs provided by Brent S.

I have a nasty feeling that the chords might go up a half step around the 3rd verse (A coffee cup/of finest silver...) but I couldn't get it to sound right. Also, the "coffee, coffee, coffee" part of the chorus doesn't quite work. I am pretty sure the last "coffee" is sung on an F#. Good luck.

CAPO II

E
Some men drink alcohol
A                         E
Some men juices of the vine
E
But as for me, I'm very simple
F#                     B
Give me coffee every time

E
Make it warm
E
Make it sweet
A                         E
Just the way my life has been
                   A       F#
Give me coffee, coffee, coffee
             A           B                E
And you've absolutely found yourself a friend
