Verse 1
In a [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] little cafe on the		 [FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] other side of the		 [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] border		 [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth] 		[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)

She was [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] sitting there giving me		 [FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)

on the Perfect Unison] water		 [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth] 		[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)

So I [FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] started walking her way, she belonged to Bad Man Jose
[FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] And I		 [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth] knew, yes I knew, I should leave, then I heard her		 [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] say -		 [FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] ay -		 [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth] ay

Chorus
[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth] .. Come a little bit		 [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] closer, you're		 [FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] my kind of		 [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth] man, so big and so strong
[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth] Come a little bit		 [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] closer,		 [FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] I'm all a-		 [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth] lone, and the night is so		 [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] long		 [FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)

on the Perfect Fourth] one little kiss so ex-		 [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] citing		 [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth] 		[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)

on the Perfect Fourth] heard the guitar player say:  "Va-moose , Jose's on his way"
[FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] And I		 [GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fifth] knew , yes I knew, I should run, but then I heard her		 [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
