Long Cool Woman
The Hollies
Letra

{2X}:



Verse 1:


Saturday night I was downtown

Working for the F.B.I.
()
Sitting in a nest of bad men

Whiskey bottles piling high
()
Bootlegging boozer on the West Side

Full of people who are doing wrong
()
Just about to call up the D.A. man

When I heard this woman sing a song


A pair of 45s made me open my eyes

My temperature started to rise

She was a long cool woman in a black dress

Just-a 5 9, beautiful, tall

With just one look I was a bad mess

Cause that long cool woman had it all

Break between verses {4X}:



{Guitar 2 plays mostly muted quarter-notes on low

{repeat main riff, 4X, as before}

Verse 2:


I saw her head up the table

Well, a tall walking big black cat
()
When Charlie said I hope that you re able boy

Well, I m telling you she knows where it s at
()
Then suddenly we heard the sirens

And everybody started to run
()
A-jumping out of doors and tables

When I heard somebody shooting a gun

()
Well, the D.A. was pumping my left hand

And a-she was a-holding my right
()
Well I told her don t get scared

Cause you re gonna be spared

I ve gotta be forgiving if I wanna spend my living
()
With a long cool woman in a black dress

Just a 5 9 beautiful tall

Yeah, with just one look I was a bad mess

Cause that long cool woman had it all


Coda (over main riff):

()
Had it all... {repeat to fade}
