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 belonged 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,

 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 alone,   
G7                   C   C F G F  C F G F  
and the night is so long."  
  
  
C                             F                  C     F/C   
So we started to dance, in my arms she felt so inviting  
C                                    F                                           C    F/C       
And I just couldn't resist, a-just a-one little kiss so exciting. 
C      F  
Then I heard the guitar player say:    
  
"Va-mos! ,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,  
  
  

[Refrão]
 
  
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." :

Then the music stopped. When I looked, the cafe was empty  
       C                        F                                          C          F/C        
And I heard Jose say: "Man, you know you're in trouble plenty!" 
      F  
So I dropped the drink from my hand,   
  
out through the window I ran,  
       C                     G        G7                        C  F        G      
And as I rode away, I could hear her say to José-yay-yay,
