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
[PRE-CHORUS 1]
A
A pair of 45's made me open my eyes
B
My temperature started to rise
[CHORUS 1]
B A
She was a long cool woman in a black dress
A G E
Just a 5'9, beautiful tall
A
With just one look I was a bad mess
A G E
'cos that long cool woman had it all

[VERSE 2]
E
I saw her heading to the table
G A E
Well, a tall walking big black cat
E
Charlie said, "I hope that you're able, boy
G A E
'Cause I'm telling you she knows where it's at"
E
Suddenly we hear the sirens
G A E
And everybody started to run
E
Jumping under doors and tables
G A E
Well, I heard somebody shooting a gun
[PRE-CHORUS 2]
E
Well, the DA was pumping my left hand
G A E
She was holding my right
E
Well, I told her, "Don't get scared
G
'Cause you're gonna be spared
A
I'm gonna be forgiven if I wanna spend my living"
[CHORUS 2]
A
With a long cool woman in a black dress
G E
Just a 5'9" beautiful 'n' tall
A
Yeah, with just one look I was a bad mess
G E E
'Cause that long cool woman had it all Had it all
