Paolo Nutini - Smokey Joe’s Cafe: chords

    F                A#               F
One day while I was eating beans at Smokey Joe's
Cafe
      F               A#                 F
Just sitting, diggin' all the scene at Smokey
Joe's Cafe
     A#
A chick came walking through the door
That I had never seen before
    F             A#               F
At least I never saw her down at Smokey Joe's Cafe

        C                   A#
And I started shaking when she sat right
              F
down next to me

Her knees were almost touching mine at Smokey Joe's
Cafe
A chill was running down my spine at Smokey Joe's
Cafe
And I could smell her sweet perfume
She smiled at me and my heart went boom
And everybody in the room at Smokey Joe's Cafe

      A#
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
              C
He said "You better eat up all your beans, boy,
then clear right out!"

Oh, I know I'll never eat again at Smokey Joe's Cafe
And so we'll never meet again at Smokey Joe's Cafe
And I'd rather eat my chips and beans at Jim's or
Jack's or John's or Gene's
Than take my chances eating down at Smokey Joe's
Cafe
Why risk my life when that Smokey Joe's a crazy
fool?
