[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

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
