Coffee shops

Cm G
The three of us are coffee-junkies -
Cm
We sit in here from dawn to dusk.
G
We're chewing coffee beans and counting.
Cm
What brought us here, do not ask.
Fm Cm
Our pal is famous coffee-drinker.
Fm Cm
He's got that Hemingway look.
Fm Cm
And with a mien of a thinker
G Cm
He is conceiving of a book.

Chorus:
Fm
My little birdie,
Cm
Another cup for thee:
G
We ain't in Switzerland,
Cm
We are at home.
Fm
So may we be at peace,
Cm
This life is but a breeze.
G
Let's drink our coffee
Cm
With a hint of rome.

Cm G
'Tis getting dark, the snow is falling,
Cm
And people coming in and out.
Fm
The steaming coffee is heart-warming.
B7 Eb
There's nothing more to think about.
Another student by the stand,
He's counting pennies and daydreaming.
Oh, how this lengthy day is streaming,
He will not make it to the end.

Chorus.

Somebody's playing in the corner,
And the guitar is saying "more".
This winter night could not be warmer.
The chill comes creeping through the door.

The coffee on the roof is flowing,
And turning all into a dream.
Life on the Continent is slowing,
His weary eyes and cold and dim.

Chorus.
