Oh yes he | [G] is (oh yes he | is) oh yes he | [C] is (oh yes he | is)
He | [F] thinks he is a | flower to be | [C] looked at | [C]
And | [F] when he pulls his | frilly nylon | [C] panties right up | [A7] tight
He feels a | [Dm] dedicated | [G7] follower of | [C] fashion | [C]

Chorus
Oh yes he | [G] is (oh yes he | is) oh yes he | [C] is (oh yes he | is)
There's | [F] one thing that he | loves and that is | [C] flattery | [C] |
| [F] One week he's in | polka dots the | [C] next week he's in | [A7] stripes
Cos he's a | [Dm] dedicated | [G7] follower of | [C] fashion | [C]

They seek him | [G] here... | they seek him | [C] there | [C]
In Regent's | [G] Street... | and Leister | [C] Square | [C]
| [F] Everywhere the | Carnabetian | [C] army marches | [A7] on
Each one a | [Dm] dedicated | [G7] follower of | [C] fashion | [C]

Chorus
Oh yes he | [G] is (oh yes he | is) oh yes he | [C] is (oh yes he | is)
His | [F] world is built round | discotheques and | [C] parties | [C]
This | [F] pleasure seeking | individual | [C] always looks his | [A7] best
Cos he's a | [Dm] dedicated | [G7] follower of | [C] fashion | [C]

Chorus
Oh yes he | [G] is (oh yes he | is) oh yes he | [C] is (oh yes he | is)
He | [F] flits from shop to | shop just like a | [C] butterfly | [C]
In | [F] matters of the | cloth he is as | [C] fickle as can | [A7] be
Cos he's a | [Dm] dedicated | [G7] follower of | [C] fashion | [A]
He's a | [Dm] dedicated | [G7] follower of | [C] fashion | [A]
He's a | [Dm] dedicated | [G] follower of | [C] fashion | [C↓↓] [Csus4↓↓] | [C↓]

[D] Saturday night I was | downtown

[1/2F] Whiskey bottles [1/2G] piling [D] high [D]

[D] Bootlegging boozer on the | west side
Full of [1/2F] people who are [1/2G] doing [D] wrong
[D] Just about to call up the | DA man
When I [1/2F] heard this woman [1/2G] singin' a [D] song [D]

A [G] pair of 45's made me | open my eyes
My [A] temperature started to | rise [A]
She was a [G] long cool woman in a | black dress
Just- a [1/2F] five- nine, [1/2G] beautiful, [D] tall

When [D] Charlie said I hope that you're | able boy
'Cause I'm [1/2F] telling you she [1/2G] knows where it's [D] at
Then [D] suddenly we heard the | sirens
And [1/2F] everybody [1/2G] started to [D] run
A- [D] jumping out of doors and | tables
When I [1/2F] heard somebody [1/2G] shootin' a [D] gun [D]

Well, the [D] DA was pumping my | left hand
And a- [1/2F] she was a- [1/2G] holding my [D] right
Well, [D] I told her don't get scared
'Cause [F] you're gonna be spared
I've [G] gotta be forgivin' if I | wanna spend my living
With a [G] long cool woman in a | black dress
Just- a [1/2F] five- nine, [1/2G] beautiful, [D] tall
Yeah, with [G] just one look I was a | bad mess
'Cause that [1/2F] long cool [1/2G] woman had it [D] all [D]
Had it [D] all [D]
Had it [D] all [D]
Had it [D↓] all
