E
Saturday night I was downtown
GAE
Working for the FBI
E
Sitting in a nest of bad men
GAE
Whisky bottles piling high
E
Bootlegging boozer on the west side
GAE
Full of people who are doing wrong
E
Just about to call up the D.A. man
GAE
When I heard this woman singing a song
AA 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
GAE
Just a 5'9, beautiful tall
A
With just one look I was a bad mess
GAE
'cos that long cool woman had it all
8 bars
E
I saw her headin' to the table
GAE
Well a tall walking big black cat
E
When charlie said I hope that you're able boy
GAE
Well I'm telling you she knows where it's at
E
Well suddenly we heard the sirens
GAE
And everybody started to run
EA jumping out of doors and tables
GAE
Well I heard somebody shooting a gun
E
Well the da was pumping my left hand
GAE
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
GAE
Just a 5'9 beautiful tall
A
Well, with just one look I was a bad mess
GAE
'cos that long cool woman had it all
E
Had it all
