Am Your breath is sweet and weak, your eyes like
G Two jewels in the sky
F Your back is straight, your hair is smooth
On the E pillow where you lie
RIFF 1:
D|-0-1-2--
Am But I don't sense affection
G No gratitude, no love
F Your loyalty is not to me
But E to the stars above
CHORUS:
F N.C. E
One more cup of coffee for the road
F N.C. E
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go
N.C. Am
To the valley below.
BREAK:
Am G F E
VERSE 2:
Your daddy, he's an outlaw
And a wanderer by trade
He'll teach you how to pick and choose
And how to throw the blade (no riff)
He oversees his kingdom
So no stranger does intrude
His voice it trembles as he calls out
For another plate of food
CHORUS
BREAK
VERSE 3:
Your sister sees the future
Like your mother and yourself
You don't know how to read or write
There's no books upon your shelf
But your pleasure knows no limits
Your voice is like a meadowlark
Your heart is like the ocean
Mysterious and dark
CHORUS
Am (cut off sharply with an echo)
The White Stripes
