Am C G E
Crickets are chirpin' the water is high
Am C G Am
There's a soft cotton dress on the line hangin' dry
Am C G E
Window's wide open African trees
Am C G Am
Bent over backwards in a hurricane breeze
G
Not a word, a goodbye, not even a note
Am C G Am
She's gone with the man in the long black coat
Am C G E
Somebody seem him hangin' around
Am C G Am
At the old dance hall on the outskirts of town
Am C G E
He looked into her eyes when she stopped him to ask
Am C G Am
If he wanted to dance he had a face like a mask
G
Somebody said, from the Bible he quote
Am C G Am
There was dust on the man in the long black coat
Am C G E
Preacher was talkin' there's a sermon he gave
Am C G Am
He said every man's conscience is vile and depraved
Am C G E
You cannot depend on it to be your guide
Am C G Am
When it's you who must keep it satisfied

She give her heart to the man in the long black coat

GUITAR SOLO
Am C G E
There's smoke on the water, it's been there since June
Am C G Am
Tree trunks uprooted in the high crescent moon
Am C G E
Hear the pulse and vibrations and the rumblin' force
Am C G Am
Somebody's out there beating on a dead horse
G
She never said nothin', there was nothin' she wrote
Am C G Am
She's gone with the man in the long black coat
Am C G Am
She's gone with the man in the long black coat
