E5                       G5
Tommy, you know, he had one deaf ear
A5                          E5
Back from his minesweeping days
E5                                  G5
You never could tell just what he could and could not hear
A5                              E5
And he intended to keep it that way

      G5                  C5
He joined the Navy just like his Daddy done
     G5                       D5
When he was of the rightful age
        E5                    G5
He took off right quick like many a kid did
         D5                        C5
When his parents took hard to the drink

             E5                          G5
And now it's coffee like it's fine wine, wine like it's water
D5                          C5
Any time's a good time, so go unlock your daughters
         E5                          G5
With his motorcycle friends, they're going off again
         D5                        C5
From the Black Sea all the way to Britain,
               E5
All the way to Britain

E5                      G5
She was a dame of New Jersey fame
A5                            E5
Lived her life like it was a bourre game
E5                      
And if there were sides being taken
     G5                                 A5           E5
You better believe you wanna be on the side she was on

     G5                     C5
She went to the city for secretary school
       G5                  D5
Ended up working for the CIA
          E5                      G5
She had a short hand that didn't suffer no fools
D5                             C5
She intended to keep it that way



               E5                          G5
And she drank coffee like it's fine wine, wine like it's water
D5                           C5
Any old time she could have any horse she wanted
    E5                          G5
And if you gonna? ride then you ride it like you stole it
 D5              C5
From a steeple chase
       
    E5                          G5
She drank coffee like it's fine wine, wine like it's water
D5                             C5
Boys tried to give chase, but no one ever caught her
          E5                   G5
'Til she found her love, and Sheila didn't let Tommy
  D5       C5
Sleep for days

*Interlude*    G5 D5 C5 E5   G5 D5 C5
               G5 D5 C5 E5   G5 D5 E5

      C5                          G5
Their first meeting was hardly a word
       D5                 C5
But he built her a harpsichord
       C5                           G5          E5
And he found her unconscious just inside the door
D5
And carried her to help

      C5             G5
Now every now and again
        D5                                  C5
She pretends to faint on the harpsichord bench
                                 G5    E5
And he picks her up again and carries her
D5
Up to their bed

                E5                          G5
And they drink coffee like it?s fine wine, wine like it's water
D5                        C5
Any time's a good time, ?cause now they have a daughter
          E5                          G5
And she rides so fast, they said they gonna name her

            E5                          G5
They drink coffee like it?s fine wine, wine like it's water
D5                          C5
Don't ask what kind, it's just the kind our parents brought us
           E5                          G5
From the Black Sea shore and the girl next door
 D5         C5
Who could ride

            E5                          G5
They drink coffee like it's fine wine, wine like it's water
D5                             C5
Any time's a good time cause now they have a daughter
          E5                 G5
And she rides so fast, they said they gonna? name her
