INTRO: PLAY INSTRUMENTALLY

C                          F                 C    F/C
In a little cafe just the other side of the border
C                                F
She was sitting there giving me looks
                    C    F/C
that made my mouth water


VERSE ONE
C                          F                 C    F/C
In a little cafe just the other side of the border
C                                F
She was sitting there giving me looks 
                    C   F/C
that made my mouth water
      F
So I started walking her way, she be-longed to Bad Man Jose
       C                          G      
And I knew, yes I knew, I should leave, 
     G7          C     F    G
then I heard her say - ay - ay


CHORUS:

G                  C             F          G
Come a little bit closer, you're my kind of man, 

so big and so strong,
G7                 C      F         G
Come a little bit closer, I'm all a-lone, 
G7                   C   C/F/G/F  C/F/G/F
and the night is so long


VERSE

C                             F                  C     F/C 
So we started to dance,in my arms she felt so in-viting
C                                    F              
And I just couldn't resist, a-just a-one little kiss 
      C     F/C
so ex-citing.
C      F
Then I heard the guitar player say:  

Va-moose , Jose's on his way
      C                           G          
And I knew , yes I knew, I should run, 
        G7           C     F   G
but then I heard her say - ay -ay


CHORUS TWO

G                  C             F          G
Come a little bit closer, you're my kind of man, 

so big and so strong,
G7                C       F         G
Come a little bit closer, I'm all a-lone, 
G7                  C    C/F/G/F
and the night is so long

VERSE

G         C                     F                    C   F/C
Then the music stopped, when I looked, the cafe was empty
       C                        F         
And I heard Jose say: Man, you know 
                   C    F/C
you're in trouble plenty
      F
So I dropped the drink from my hand, 

and out through the window I ran
       C                     G        G7          
And as I rode a-way, I could hear her say 
   C    F       G
to Jos -eyay - yay
