Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]One[C][G][C][G][C][D]
[G]day while I was eating
down at Smokey Joe's Cafe
A-sittin' there there readin' down
at Smokey Joe's Cafe
A chick[C]en walked in through the door
That I had never seen before
At [G]least I never saw her down
at Smokey Joe?s Cafe
And [D]it scared me [C]when she
sat right down next [A]to me[G][Bb][Ab]
[Bb]Her knee[G]s were almost touching
mine at Smokey Joe's Cafe
A chill was runnin' down my
[C]spine at [G]Smokey Joe's Cafe
[C]I could smell her sweet perfume
She smiled and made my heart go boom
And [G]everybody room at
Smokey Joe?s Cafe
[D]They said be careful [C]- that chick
belongs to Smokey [A]Joe[C][Bb][C]
[F]And fro[C]m behind the cou[Cm]nter - I[C] 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
You [G]better eat up all your beans,
boy and [C]clear right [G]on out!?
[D]Well, I kno[G]w I'll never eat
again at Smokey Joe?s Cafe
And so I'll never see again
at Smokey Joe's Cafe
I'd [C]rather eat my chili beans at Jim's
or Jack's or John's or Gene's
Than [G]take my chances eating
down at Smokey Joe's Cafe
I [D]risked my life [C]when that Smokey

[Outro 1]
Joe's a crazy
