I changed Chinc to Mex, because well u know
Vamp the Em, Hammer on the G on the E string
[intro]
Em
Em I can cook a little Em But it's not a lot to shout about Am It's kinda mean cuisine Em So, I eat out
Em
[Verse 1]
Am Hey, they know me at the Greek and the Chinc (I substitute Mex) Am And the Italian and the Indian, too Am And they all say C "Here comes that sad American man again Em What are we gonna do?" Am Well you can put me at the table Am In the corner in the back Am Unless you got one in a telephone booth Em I'm here and I'm alone again Em It's sad but it's the truth Am No, I'm not expecting anyone Am Is that beyond belief Em Give me the menu Em Take away the candle B Never mind the aperitif
[Verse 2]
Em
Em They got a couple of couples Em A trio and a foursome Em They even got a party of eight C I'm getting that look C I wish I'd brought a book C Better yet, I wish I'd already ate Em Ooh, don't you know that's impolite Em What's the matter with you people C Your telling jokes and your holding hands Em And you're talking with your mouth's full
Em
[Verse 3]
Am Well the waiter comes up and he asks me Am "How it is Sir, is everything alright?" Em The foods fine but I feel like a fool Em 'Cause I'm eating alone tonight Am Don't say I was here at all Am What would all my loved-one's think Em I'll take the check, no sweet, no coffee B No after dinner drink
Em
[Outro]
Em I can cook a little Em But it's not a lot to shout about C It's kinda mean cuisine Em So, I eat out
