^{Key: :[D#] (w: Allan Clarke, Roger Cook, Roger Greenaway)}

INTRO: [*R1 x2] // [D#]

VERSE 1:
[D#] Saturday night I was downtown
[F#] Working for the [G#] F.B.-[D#]-I.
[D#] Sitting in a nest of bad men
[F#] Whiskey bottles [G#] piling [D#] high

VERSE 2:
[D#] Bootlegging boozer on the West Side
Full of [F#] people who are [G#] doing [D#] wrong
[D#] Just about to call up the D.A. man
When I [F#] heard this woman [G#] sing a [D#] song

PRE-CHORUS:
A [G#] pair of 45's made me open my eyes
My [A#] temperature started to rise

CHORUS:
She was a [G#] long cool woman in a black dress
Just-a [F#] 5'9, [G#] beautiful, [D#] tall
With [G#] just one look I was a bad mess
'Cause that [F#] long cool [G#] woman had it [D#] all

GUITAR BREAK: [D#]

VERSE 3:
[D#] I saw her head up the table
With a [F#] tall walking [G#] big black [D#] cat
When [D#] Charlie said I hope that you're able boy
Well, I'm [F#] telling you she [G#] knows where it's [D#] at

VERSE 4:
Then [D#] suddenly we heard the sirens
And [F#] everybody [G#] started to [D#] run
A-[D#]-jumping out of doors and tables
When I [F#] heard somebody [G#] shooting a [D#] gun

VERSE 5:
Well, the [D#] D.A. was pumping my left hand
And a [F#] she was a-[G#]-holding my [D#] right
Well I [D#] told her don't get scared
'Cause you're [F#] gonna be spared
I've [G#] gotta be forgiving if I wanna spend my living

CHORUS:
With a [G#] long cool woman in a black dress
Just a [F#] 5'9, [G#] beautiful [D#] tall
Yeah, with [G#] just one look I was a bad mess
'Cause that [F#] long cool [G#] woman had it [D#] all
