Verse 1: 
 
        E 
        Saturday night I was downtown 
        G               A   E 
        Working for the F.B.I. 
         (E) 
        Sitting in a nest of bad men 
        G                A      E 
        Whiskey bottles piling high 
        (E) 
        Bootlegging boozer on the West Side 
                  G             A      E 
        Full of people who are doing wrong 
        (E) 
        Just about to call up the D.A. man 
                G                A      E 
        When I heard this woman sing a song 
 
           A 
        A pair of 45s made me open my eyes 
            B 
        My temperature started to rise 
                   A 
        She was a long cool woman in a black dress 
               G                E 
        Just-a 5'9, beautiful, tall 
              A 
        With just one look I was a bad mess 
                     G                      E 
        'Cause that long cool woman had it all

Verse 2: 
 
        E 
        I saw her head up the table 
                 G            A         E 
        Well, a tall walking big black cat 
              (E) 
        When Charlie said I hope that you're able boy 
                   G               A               E 
        Well, I'm telling you she knows where it's at 
              (E) 
        Then suddenly we heard the sirens 
             G          A        E 
        And everybody started to run 
           (E) 
        A-jumping out of doors and tables 
                 G             A          E 
        When I heard somebody shooting a gun 
 
                  (E) 
        Well, the D.A. was pumping my left hand 
               G          A          E 
        And a-she was a-holding my right 
               (E) 
        Well I told her don't get scared 
                        G 
        'Cause you're gonna be spared 
              A 
        I've gotta be forgiving if I wanna spend my living 
               (A) 
        With a long cool woman in a black dress 
               G              E 
        Just a 5'9 beautiful tall 
                    A 
        Yeah, with just one look I was a bad mess 
                     G                      E 
        'Cause that long cool woman had it all
