Verse 1
(E major) Saturday night I was downtown
Working (G major) for the (A major) FB I (E major)
Sitting in a nest of bad men
Whiskey (G major) bottles (A major) piling high (E major)
Bootlegging boozer on the west side
Full of people (G major) who are (A major) doing wrong (E major)
Just about to call up the D.A. man
When I heard (G major) this woman (A major) singing a song (E major)

Pre-chorus 1
A (A major) pair of forty fives made me open my eyes
My (B major) temperature started to rise
Chorus 1
She was a (A major) long cool woman in a black dress
Just a 5'9" (G major) beautiful 'n' tall (E major)
With (A major) just one look I was a bad mess
'Cause that long (G major) cool woman had it

Verse 2
I (E major) saw her heading to the table
Well, a tall (G major) walking big (A major) black cat (E major)
Charlie said, "I hope that you're able, boy"
'Cause I'm telling (G major) you
she (A major) knows where it's at (E major)
Well, suddenly we hear the sirens
And (G major) everybody (A major) started to run (E major)
Jumping under doors and tables
Well, I heard (G major) somebody (A major) shooting a gun (E major)
Pre-chorus 2
Well, the D.A. (E major) was pumping my left hand
And she (G major) was holding (A major) my (E major) right
Well, I told her, don't get scared
'Cause you're (G major) gonna be spared
I've (A major) gotta be forgiven
if I wanna spend my living
Chorus 2
With a (A major) long cool woman in a black dress
Just a 5'9" (G major) beautiful 'n' tall (E major)
With (A major) just one look I was a bad mess
'Cause that long (G major) cool woman had it (E major) all
Outro 1
Had it all, (E major) had it all, had it all
Had it all, had it all, had it all
(E major) (E major) (E major) (E major)
