Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress

by The Hollies

Biography:

The Hollies are a well-respected British beat and rock and roll band that formed in the early 60s. Initially they had a squeaky-clean image and were famous for their rich vocal harmonies, rivaling those of The Beach Boys. Between 1964 and 1969, only two Hollies songs failed to reach the UK Top 10. Their most famous member was Graham Nash, who left in 1968 to form the folk supergroup Crosby, Stills & Nash. Two of the core members, drummer Bobby Elliott and lead guitarist Tony Hicks, still perform with The Hollies into the new millennium.

[Verse]

E
Saturday night I was downtown
G A E
Working for the FBI
E
Sitting in a nest of bad men
G A E
Whisky 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 singing a song

[Chorus]

A
A pair of 45's 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
'cos that long cool woman had it all

[Verse]

E
I saw her headin' to 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
Well suddenly we heard the sirens
G A E
And everybody started to run
E
A jumping out of doors and tables
G A E
Well I heard somebody shooting a gun

E
Well the da was pumping my left hand
G A E
And then she was a-holding my right

E
Well I told her don't get scared
G
'cos you're gonna be spared
A
Well I've gotta be forgiven

If I wanna spend my living

With a long cool woman in a black dress

G E
Just a 5'9 beautiful tall
A
Well, with just one look I was a bad mess
G A E
'cos that long cool woman had it all
E
Had it all
