Verse 1:
MI
Saturday night I was downtown
SOL LA MI
Working for the F.B.I.
(E)
Sitting in a nest of bad men
SOL LA MI
Whiskey bottles piling high
(E)
Bootlegging boozer on the West Side
SOL LA MI
Full of people who are doing wrong
(E)
Just about to call up the D.A. man
SOL LA MI
When I heard this woman sing a song
LA
A pair of 45s made me open my eyes
SI
My temperature started to rise
LA
She was a long cool woman in a black dress
SOL MI
Just-a 5'9, beautiful, tall
LA
With just one look I was a bad mess
SOL MI
'Cause that long cool woman had it all

Verse 2:
MI
I saw her head up the table
SOL LA MI
Well, a tall walking big black cat
(E)
When Charlie said I hope that you're able boy
SOL LA MI
Well, I'm telling you she knows where it's at
(E)
Then suddenly we heard the sirens
SOL LA MI
And everybody started to run
(E)
A-jumping out of doors and tables
SOL LA MI
When I heard somebody shooting a gun
(E)
Well, the D.A. was pumping my left hand
SOL LA MI
And a-she was a-holding my right
(E)
Well I told her don't get scared
SOL
'Cause you're gonna be spared
LA
I've gotta be forgiving if I wanna spend my living

With a long cool woman in a black dress
SOL MI
Just a 5'9 beautiful tall

Yeah, with just one look I was a bad mess
SOL MI
'Cause that long cool woman had it all

Had it all... [repeat to fade]
