OLD FASHIONED COFFEE

Words and music by Lachlan Irvine


[G] Give me some old fashioned coffee, give me some [D7] old fashioned [G] coffee,
Give me some old [G7] fashioned [C] coffee, it's [G] good e-[D7]-nough for [G] me.
[G] Give me some old fashioned coffee, give me some [D7] old fashioned [G] coffee,
Give me some old [G7] fashioned [C] coffee, it's [G] good e-[D7]-nough for [G] me.

[G] I don't need no Affogato, Dirty [D7] Chai, Café Cor-[G]-tado,
Piccolo Latte, [G7] Macchi-[C]-atto, [G] I know they're [D7] not for [G] me.
[G] Give me some old fashioned coffee, give me some [D7] old fashioned [G] coffee,
Give me some old [G7] fashioned [C] coffee, it's [G] good e-[D7]-nough for [G] me.

Please en-[G]-joy your cappucino, made from a [D7] fine, exotic [G] bean, oh,
But goodness [G7] gracious [C] me, no, I'll [G] tell you [D7] what I [G] need.
[G] Give me some old fashioned coffee, give me some [D7] old fashioned [G] coffee,
Give me some old [G7] fashioned [C] coffee, it's [G] good e-[D7]-nough for [G] me.

I don't [G] want to hear it hissing, I don't [D7] want to see it [G] spitting,
Just let me [G7] smell it [C] brewing in a [G] pot, that's [D7] what I [G] want.
[G] Give me some old fashioned coffee, give me some [D7] old fashioned [G] coffee,
Give me some old [G7] fashioned [C] coffee, it's [G] good e-[D7]-nough for [G] me.

I won't [G] drink from a thimble, even [D7] filled to the [G] brim-full,
Look, it's [G7] really very [C] simple a [G] mug is [D7] what I [G] need.
[G] Give me some old fashioned coffee, give me some [D7] old fashioned [G] coffee,
Give me some old [G7] fashioned [C] coffee, it's [G] good e-[D7]-nough for [G] me.

Now, I [G] may not be tres chic, and my [D7] tastes are not bou-[G]-tique,
But I do know [G7] what I [C] seek, and I [G] know what's [D7] right for [G] me.
[G] Give me some old fashioned coffee, give me some [D7] old fashioned [G] coffee,
Give me some old [G7] fashioned [C] coffee, it's [G] good e-[D7]-nough for [G] me.

I don't [G] mean to offend you, and don't [D7] worry, I won't un-[G]-friend you,
But a compli-[G7]-cated [C] menu [G] simply [D7] will not [G] do.
[G] Give me some old fashioned coffee, give me some [D7] old fashioned [G] coffee,
Give me some old [G7] fashioned [C] coffee, it's [G] good e-[D7]-nough for [G] me.

I know [G] every generation has to [D7] find a new sen-[G]-sation,
But there [G7] comes a reali-[C]-sation that the [G] old ways [D7] are the [G] best.
[G] Give me some old fashioned coffee, give me some [D7] old fashioned [G] coffee,
Give me some old [G7] fashioned [C] coffee, it's [G] good e-[D7]-nough for [G] me.

[G] Give me some old fashioned coffee, give me some [D7] old fashioned [G] coffee,
Give me some old [G7] fashioned [C] coffee, it's [G] good e-[D7]-nough for [G] me.
