{c:strum: | d - R u - u D u | (Swiss Army Strum, 1 Roll & (3) & 4 &)}

{c:verse 1}
In a [C]little cafe on the [F]other side of the [C]border
She was [C]sitting there giving me [F]looks that made my mouth [C]water
So I [F]started walking her way, she belonged to Bad Man Jose
And I [G]knew, yes I knew I should leave then I heard her [C]say-[F]ay-[G]ay:

{soc}
"Come a little bit [C]closer, you're [F]my kind of [G]man, so big and so strong
Come a little bit [C]closer, [F]I'm all a-[G]lone, and the night is so [C]long" [F]  [G]
{eoc}

{c:verse 2}
So we [C]started to dance, in my [F]arms she felt so in-[C]viting,
And I just [C]couldn't resist, a-just a-[F]one little kiss so ex-[C]citing
Then I [F]heard the guitar player say: "Vamoose, Jose's on his way!"
And I [G]knew, yes I knew I should run, but then I heard her [C]say-[F]ay-[G]ay:

{soc}
"Come a little bit [C]closer, you're [F]my kind of [G]man, so big and so strong
Come a little bit [C]closer, [F]I'm all a-[G]lone, and the night is so [C]long" [F]  [G]
{eoc}
 
{c:verse 3}
Then the [C]↓music [C]↓stopped, when I [F]looked, the cafe was [C]empty
And I [C]heard Jose say: "Man, you [F]know you're in trouble [C]plenty"
So I [F]dropped the drink from my hand, and out through the window I ran
And as [G]I rode away, I could hear her say to Jo-[C]se-[F]ay-[G]ay

{soc}
"Come a little bit [C]closer, you're [F]my kind of [G]man, so big and so strong
Come a little bit [C]closer, [F]I'm all a-[G]lone, and the night is so [C]long" [F]  [G]
{eoc}

{c:outro}
[C]La [F]la [G]la la...
[C]La [F]la [G]la la...
[C]La [F]la [G]la la...
