[Verse]
 
E
Saturday night I was downtown
G             A   E
Working for the FBI
E
Sitting in a nest of bad men
G                 A      E
Whisky 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 singing a song
 
 
[Chorus]
 
A
A pair of 45's 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 'n' tall
A
With just one look I was a bad mess
         G                         E
'cos that long cool woman had it all
 
8 bars
 
 
[Verse]
 
E
I saw her headin' to 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
Well suddenly we heard the sirens
      G            A      E
And everybody started to run
E
A jumping out of doors and tables
       G                A       E
Well I heard somebody shooting a gun
 
E
Well the da was pumping my left hand
          G         A     E
And then she was a-holding my right
 
E
Well I told her don't get scared
G
'cos you're gonna be spared
A
Well I've gotta be forgiven
 
If I wanna spend my living
 
With a long cool woman in a black dress
 
       G                 E
Just a 5'9 beautiful 'n' tall
           A
Well, with just one look I was a bad mess
G                     A          E
'cos that long cool woman had it all
       E
Had it all
