Decent Cup Of Coffee

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 pitty
    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"

(chorus)
      Am            C               G
But a decent cup of coffee wouldn't go astray
        Am                C               G
But somehow 1 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   Cb   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"

(chorus)

          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    Cb   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   Cb   Am             C   Cb   Am
When the sun goes down, When the sun goes down,
         C   Cb   Am
When the sun goes down,
                     G
On a dust red Mallee town
