Jay and the Americans - Come a Little Bit Closer
Originally in Eb, I play in A capo 3
Vox on 1 2 3 3 3 3 on “in a little cafe”
In a Alittle cafe just the Dother side of the Aborder
She was just sitting there giving me Dlooks that made my mouth Awater
So I Dstarted walking her way, she belonged to bad man Jose
Hard stop at the end of the line
And I Eknew, yes I knew I should leave when I heard her Asay, aDy, Eay
The IV is implied here
DCome a little bit Acloser
You’re Dmy kind of Eman, so big and so Dstrong
Come a little bit Acloser
DI’m all aElone, and the night is so long ADED
So we Astarted to dance, in my Darms she felt so inAviting
That I just couldn’t resist just Done little kiss, so exAciting
Then I Dheard the guitar player say, “Vamoose, Jose’s on his way”
And I Eknew, yes I knew I should run, but I heard her Asay, aDy, Eay
DCome a little bit Acloser
You’re Dmy kind of Eman, so big and so Dstrong
Come a little bit Acloser
DI’m all aElone, and the night is so long ADED
Solo

A bit quiet
Then the Amusic stopped, when I Dlooked the cafe was Aempty
Then I heard Jose say “an, you Dknow you’re in trouble Aplenty“
So I Ddropped my drink from my hand and through the window I ran
And as EI rode away I could hear her say to AJosDeE
DCome a little bit Acloser
You’re Dmy kind of Eman, so big and so Dstrong
Come a little bit Acloser
DI’m all aElone, and the night is so long ADED
With ad libs
