[Intro]
G7 G7 G7 G7
[Verse 1]
G7
Stopped by a diner, and the blond behind the counter
G7
Asked if she could help in any way.
C
I could tell by her smile, her number I could dial
G
If I was in the need of company.
D7
I asked her for some Java
C G
Instead she brought me chickory.
[Verse 2]
G7
A taste of Java, is like a volcanic rush
G7
Nobody's gonna stop me from drinkin too much.
C
Costs many more than you care to pay
G
But money is nothin, compared to a fired-up day.
D7
Don't try to cheat, it's impossible to beat
C G
The only pick-me-up that's here to stay.
[Chorus]
G
Java Blues, coffee's got me
G
Java Blues, coffee coffee coffee
C
Java Blues, well the coffee's got me
G
Java Blues, coffee coffee coffee
D
You know that I'll stay high
C
Drinkin coffee till I die
G
Java blues
[Solo over Verse]
[Verse 3]
G
Won't you boil me water, fill up my cup.
G
You know it takes a lot to keep me up.
C
Down in Bolivia, the people are insane
G
They want as much for Java as they do for cocaine.
D7
Don't try to cheat, it's impossible to beat
C G
The only pick-me-up that's here to stay.
[Chorus]
G
Java Blues, coffee's got me
G
Java Blues, coffee coffee coffee
C
Java Blues, you don't know what it does to me
G
Java Blues, coffee coffee coffee
D
You know that I'll stay high
C
Drinkin coffee till I die
G
Java Blues
