[D] Saturday night I was | downtown
[1/2F] Working for the [1/2G] FB- [D]I
[D] Sittin' in a nest of | bad men
[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
With [G] just one look I was a | bad mess
'Cause that [1/2F] long cool [1/2G] woman had it [D] all
Instrumental (Shuffle on D)
| [D] (all...) | [D] | [D] | [D] |
| [D] | [D] | [D] | [D] |
[D] I saw her heading to the | table
Like a [1/2F] tall walking [1/2G] big black [D] cat
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
