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

(Chorus)
A (A)pair of 45's made me open my eyes
My (B)temperature started to rise
She was a (A)long cool woman in a black dress
Just a (G)5'9, beautiful (E)tall
With (A)just one look I was a bad mess
'Cos that (G)long cool woman had it (E)all

(Verse)
I (E)saw her headin' to the table
Well a (G)tall walking (A)big black (E)cat
When (E)charlie said I hope that you're able boy
Well I'm (G)telling you she (A)knows where it's (E)at
Well (E)suddenly we heard the sirens
And (G)everybody (A)started to (E)run
A (E)jumping out of doors and tables
Well I (G)heard somebody s(A)hooting a (E)gun
Well the (E)da was pumping my left hand
And then (G)she was a-(A)holding my (E)right
Well I (E)told her don't get scared
'Cos you're (G)gonna be spared
Well I've (A)gotta be forgiven
If I (A)wanna spend my living
With a (A)long cool woman in a black dress
Just a (G)5'9 (A)beautiful (E)tall
Well, with just (A)one look I was a bad mess
'Cos that (G)long cool (A)woman had it (E)all
