Beantown Coffee Shop written and performed by Nick Strauss (c) 2020
[Verse I]
G C G C
This is a story of a coffee shop set with glass cups and saucers
G C G C
A waitress from Guatamala bearing a cup of Java
G C G C
A crazy hairy Jew who knew, and a friend leaving school
G C D7
The owner traveled the world and knew the beans
[Chorus]
G C G C
A waitress from Guatamala bearing a cup of Java
[Verse II]
G C G C
Every day the baker came with fresh cake and pastries.
G C G C
The cook set sandwiches on glass plates with metal forks
G C G C
The diswasher washed the cups, saucers, and plates
G C D
And the owner traveled the world and bought the beans
[Chorus]
[Verse III]
G C G C D7
The man from the chain came and tasted the coffee, ate the sandwiches and cake.
D G C C
And he saw an open space on his map
G C
He gave the owner an offer.
G C D7
The owner looked at his watch, and sold the shop.
[Chorus]
[Verse IV]
G C G C
Now the coffee shop has a new name
G C G C
The coffee comes in paper cups, a trash can, by the door
G C
and the dishwasher is gone.
G C G C
The sandwiches wrapped in plastic, the pastries and cakes are frozen
G C G C G C
There are tables and a crazy jew who knew, and a friend leaving school,
G C G C
but no waitress from Guatamala bearing a cup of Java
G C D7
And the owner travels the world and knows his beans
