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

Verse 2:
E
I saw her head up the table
G A E
Well, a tall walking big black cat
(E)
When Charlie said I hope that you're able boy
G A E
Well, I'm telling you she knows where it's at
(E)
Then suddenly we heard the sirens
G A E
And everybody started to run
(E)
A-jumping out of doors and tables
G A E
When I heard somebody shooting a gun
(E)
Well, the D.A. was pumping my left hand
G A E
And a-she was a-holding my right
(E)
Well I told her don't get scared
G
'Cause you're gonna be spared
A
I've gotta be forgiving if I wanna spend my living
(A)
With a long cool woman in a black dress
G E
Just a 5'9 beautiful tall
A
Yeah, with just one look I was a bad mess
G E
'Cause that long cool woman had it all
Coda (over main riff):
(E)
Had it all... [repeat to fade]
