The Coffee Song chords by Frank Sinatra

Guitar chords with lyrics

Verse 1:
D7  G            Ddim
Way down among Brazilians
        Am7              D7
Coffee beans grow by the billions
           G                 Em            A7
So they've got to find those extra cups to fill
                Am7          D7        G     D7
They've got an awful lot of coffee in Brazil

Verse 2:
   G            Ddim
You can't get cherry soda
        Am7              D7
'cause they've got to fill that quota
           G                 Em            A7
And the way things are I'll bet they never will
                Am7          D7        G
They've got a zillion tons of coffee in Brazil
Chorus:
Ddim Am7 D7 G
No tea or tomato juice
Ddim Am7 D7 G
You'll see no potato juice
E7         Am              E7              A7      D7
'cause the planters down in Santos all say "No, no, no"

Verse 3:
   G            Ddim
The politician's daughter
  Am7              D7
Was accused of drinkin' water
           G                 Em            A7
And was fined a great big fifty dollar bill
                Am7          D7        G     D7
They've got an awful lot of coffee in Brazil

instrumental break:

Verse 4:
   G            Ddim
You date a girl and find out later
  Am7              D7
She smells just like a percolator
           G                 Em            A7
Her perfume was made right on the grill
                Am7          D7        G     D7
Why, they could percolate the ocean in Brazil

Verse 5:
   G            Ddim
And when their ham and eggs need savor
  Am7              D7
Coffee ketchup gives 'em flavor
           G                 Em            A7
Coffee pickles way outsell the dill
                Am7          D7        G
Why, they put coffee in the coffee in Brazil

Chorus:
Ddim Am7 D7 G
No tea, no tomato juice
Ddim Am7 D7 G
You'll see no potato juice
E7         Am              E7              A7      D7
The planters down in Santos all say "No, no, no"
Verse 6:
   G            Ddim
So you'll add to the local color
  Am7              D7
Serving coffee with a cruller
           G                 Em            A7
Dunkin' doesn't take a lot of skill
                Am7          D7
They've got an awful lot of coffee
   A             D7
An awful lot of coffee
                Am7          D7        G
