Am 
C 
Crickets are chirping,
G 
the water is high
Em 
Am 
C 
There's a soft cotton dress
G 
Am 
on the line hanging dry
C 
G 
Windows wide open, African trees
Em 
Am 
Bends   over backwards
C 
G 
Am 
in a hurricane breeze
G 
Not a word of goodbye, not even a note
Am 
She is gone with the man
C 
G 
Am 
in the long black coat
G 
Somebody seen him hanging around
Em 
Am 
C 
at the old dance hall
G 
Am 
on the outskirts of town
C 
He looked into her eyes
G 
Em 
when she stopped him to ask
Am 
if he wanted to dance
C 
G 
Am 
He had a face like a mask
G 
And somebody said,
from the Bible he'd quote,
Am 
There was dust on the man
C 
G 
Am 
with the long black coat.
The priest, he was talking,
Dsus4 
G

a sermon he gave,
Am 
Saying every man's conscience
C

is vile and depraved.
C 
You cannot depend on it
G 
Em 
to be your guide
Am 
When it's you who must
C 
G 
keep it satisfied
Am 
G 
That's not easy to swallow,
it sticks in the throat
Am 
She gave her heart to the man
G 
Am 
in the long black coat
G 
There are no mistakes in life,
C 
some people say
Am 
It's true, sometimes you could
G 
Am 
see it that way
G 
C 
People don't live or die, people just float
Am 
She gave her heart to the man
C

G 
Am 
C 
There's smoke on the water,
G 
Em 
it's been there since June
Am 
Tree trunks uprooted
C 
G 
Am 
in a high crescent moon
Impulse and vibration,
C 
G 
Em 
a rumbling force
Am 
C 
Somebody's out there
G 
Am 
beating on a dead horse
G 
She never said nothing,
there was nothing she wrote
Am 
She gave her heart to the man
G 
Am 
in the long black coat
C 
She's gone with the man
G 
Am 
in the long black coat
She's gone with the man
C

G 
in the long black coat you
