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 DA 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

    [Guitar 2 plays mostly muted quarter-notes on low E]

[repeat main riff, 4x, as before] 

Verse 2:

	E
	I saw her heading to the table
	        G            A         E
	Like a tall walking big black cat
	      (E)
	When Charlie said I hope that you're able boy
	            G               A               E
	'Cause 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 DA 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]
