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}
