Intro {2X}:
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

I saw her head up the table

Well, a tall walking big black cat

When Charlie said I hope that you're able boy

Well, I'm telling you she knows where it's at

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

Well, the D.A. was pumping my left hand
G A E
And a-she was a-holding my right

Well I told her don't get scared
G
'Cause you're gonna be spared

I've gotta be forgiving if I wanna spend my living

Just a 5'9 beautiful tall

Yeah, with just one look I was a bad mess

'Cause that long cool woman had it all
