Come A Little Bit Closer chords
Jay and the Americans / Johnny Duncan *

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

G                    C              F          G                  F
.. Come a little bit closer, you're my kind of man, so big and so strong
                  C      F         G                         C    F G  
Come a little bit closer, I'm all a-lone, and the night is so long

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

G                    C              F          G                  F
.. Come a little bit closer, you're my kind of man, so big and so strong
                  C      F         G                         C    F G  
Come a little bit closer, I'm all a-lone, and the night is so long

         C                     F                    C        
Then the music stopped, when I looked, the cafe was empty
      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, and out through the window I ran
       G                                     C     F      G
And as I rode a-way, I could hear her say to Jos - e - yay - yay

G                    C              F          G                  F
.. Come a little bit closer, you're my kind of man, so big and so strong
                  C       F         G                         C    F G  
Come a little bit closer, I'm all a-lone, and the night is so long

C   F   G
La, la, la-la
