Buddy Holly - Smokey Joes Cafe Chords

[Intro][x2]
B E B
Smokey Joe's Cafe
 
 
[Verse]
B
One day while I was eating down at Smokey Joe's Cafe
 
A-sitting there reading down at Smokey Joe's Cafe
E
A chicken walked in through the door
 
That I had never seen before
B
At least I never saw her down at Smokey Joe's Cafe
F#            F# F E
And it scared me when she sat right down next to me
B
Her knees were almost touching mine at Smokey Joe's Cafe
 
A chill was running down my spine at Smokey Joe's Cafe
E
I could smell her sweet perfume
 
She smiled and made my heart go boom
B
And everybody in the room at Smokey Joe's Cafe
F#                 F# F E
They said, "Be careful - that chick belongs to Smokey Joe"
E
And from behind the counter - I saw a man
 
A chef's hat on his head and a knife in his hand
 
He grabbed me by the collar and began to shout
B7
"You better eat up all your beans, boy and clear right on out!"
      B
Well, I know I'll never eat again at Smokey Joe's Cafe
 
And so I'll never see again at Smokey Joe's Cafe
E
I'd rather eat my chilli beans at Jim's or Jack's or John's or Gene's
B
Than take my chances eating down at Smokey Joe's Cafe
F#           F# F E
I risked my life when that Smokey Joe's a crazy fool
