Saturday night I was downtown; working for the F.B. I.
                             E7              G                               E   E7
Sitting in a nest of bad men; whiskey bottles piling high.
E                                         E7                                                          E
Bootlegging boozer on the west side, full of people who are doing wrong
                                    E7                                  G                               E
Just about to call up a D.A. man, when I heard this woman singing a song.
A                           A7                                      B7
A pair of 45s made me open my eyes my temperature's starting to rise.
A                                                   A7                      G                    E
She was Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress, just a 5'0 beautiful tall
                             A                                   G                      E  E7
With just one look I was a bad mess 'cause that long cool woman had it all        (whooo)
Guitar vamp 1 - Guitar Vamp 2 - Then bass and drum join in.
E                                      E7      G                                          E
I saw her head out to the table with a tall walking big black cat
                                                     E7            G                                                            E
My Charlie said, "I hope that you're able boy well I'm telling you she knows where it's at."
                                     E7                   G                                  E
Well, then suddenly we heard a siren and everybody started to run                                     E7        G                                                   E
A-jumping across the tables, well, I heard somebody shooting a gun.
                                                              E7                G                                  E
Well, the D.A. man was a-pumping my left hand and she was a-holding my right.
E                                                G 
Well, I told her don't be scared 'cause you're gonna be spared
A                                                  A7
Well I'm gonna be forgivin if I  wanna spend my living
                 E                                A7
With a wrong cool woman in a black dress

Chorus:
Ending:   Had it all Had it all Had it all
