	Whiskey bottles piling high 
	(E) 
	Bootlegging boozer on the West Side 
	          G             A      E 
	Full of people who are doing wrong

	Just about to call up the D.A. man

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
