A Decent Cup Of Coffee

* - Strum once G* Em* These are the thoughts of a young man Am* Driving an old car Dm* Leaving a small town in Eb* Bb* The winter time on a Saturday evening C* Eyes for the bright lights Cm* D7* Not for his old flame... G Your kids they clapped politely at the finish of my song C You said "I think they liked it" but they hardly sang along G You said "I think it's great you came and played D We don't get much around this place C And it's good to see your face" G Well I said it was a good excuse to get out of the city C I'd been kicking up my heels a bit, you didn't show much pity G You said, "I finish work at four D I'll take you up the Top Pub for a counter meal C* I said "it's a deal, I'll have the veal" [Refrão] Am C G But a decent cup of coffee wouldn't go astray Am C G But somehow I don't think I'll be getting it today Bm C You say living here's just fine Bm C Each to their own, I for mine Bm C D You're the only reason I would hang around C* * Am* G When the sun goes down, in a dust red Mallee town G Your friends said to say hello and to tell you that they've missed you C I know they'll he waiting eagerly to find out if I've kissed you G And though I think I'd like to, I'm not sure if there's another D I'd better watch my end C Though you said "Ahh he's just a friend" G So I'll see if there's a room here at the pub it's getting late C And I can see you in the morning I will meet you at the front gate of G The local footy ground you said "it's hardly Moorabbin" D I said "Don't be a bore, C No one plays down there no more" [Refrão] Am C G But a decent cup of coffee wouldn't go astray Am C G But somehow I don't think I'll be getting it today Bm C You say living here's just fine Bm C Each to their own, I for mine Bm C D You're the only reason I would hang around C* * Am* G When the sun goes down, in a dust red Mallee town G Well it's good to see the home team won, your friend he plays a good game C I think I'll be pushing off now you know it's not such a great shame G But as the sun sets on The Grampians D* Oh how I'd wish you'd whisper "I still love you true" C* * Am* Then I would say "I love you too" (but ... Am C G A decent cup of coffee wouldn't go astray Am C G And if I make tracks I might be tasting one today Bm C Well to live without me seems you're fine Bm C You for yours, I for mine Bm C D* I just lost my one reason to hang around C* * Am* C* * Am* When the sun goes down, when the sun goes down, C* * Am* When the sun goes down, G On a dust red Mallee town
