[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
