        D                         Dsus2D
Now the wife has gone out for the evening; 
    G                    A   D
The kid's fast asleep in her bed;
  G                       D
I head for the back room, turn out the lights,
     A7                  D
New ideas racing into my head.
      D5                   D  G
And I know that I ought to be stronger,
      D                       A7
And I know that it just ain't right,
       D                    G
But my guilty pleasures are calling
         D          A7        D
And it's gonna be a long dark night!


           G(D\up5)
    I have guilty pleasures and 
    D5
    back-room treasures
    D  A7                      D
    To keep me happy all night long
        G
    The devil take wine, 
          D
    loose women and crime
            A7                    D
    Give me coffee, computers and song!

Now some men fancy loose women
that they pick up in sleazy old bars;
Some find escape in the juice of the grape,
Some go racing in stolen fast cars.
But just give me a tape of old folksongs,
Black coffee as strong as it gets,
A hot CPU and a program or two
And a fast line onto the nets.

There's a two-meg stack of fresh net-news,
Some mail that I ought to reply
The last chunk came in this evening
Of a game I've been meaning to try.
Then maybe a round of debugging
There's always something else wrong,
If I don't fall asleep at the keyboard,
I might just write a new song.

Well the wife went to bed around midnight;
The kid'll be up before dawn.
I might crash at my desk about lunch-time,
But for now I'll just keep hackin' on.
Now some men fall for fast women,
for other the bottle's a curse;
For me it's hot coffee and hacking,
And I can't tell you which one is worse.

G(D\up5)A(D\up7)D(A*\up6)



This song actually was written in realtime somewhere between midnight
and 3am. 


Whistle works well on this one.
