Subject: TAB: Long Cool Woman -- Hollies
A while ago I asked for a tab for Long Cool Woman by the Hollies. I received
no replies, so I decided to try for myself. I don't have a recording
of this song, so it's all from memory. Corrections and enhancements
are welcome.

Here's the lyrics and chords. Lyrics were obtained from ftp.uwp.edu;
chords are mine.
E
Saturday night I was downtown
G A E
Working for the FBI
Sitting in a nest of bad men
G A E
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 DA man
G A E
When I heard this woman singing a song
A7
A pair of 45s made me open my eyes
G
My temperature started to rise
E G
She was a long cool woman in a black dress
A E
Just a 5'9 beautiful tall
E
With just one look I was a bad mess
A E
'Cause that long cool woman had it all
E
I saw her heading to the table
G A E
With a tall walking big black cat
E
When Charlie said I hope that you're able boy
G A
Well I'm telling you she knows where it's at
E
Well then suddenly we heard a siren
G A E
And everybody started to run
E
Jumping out of doors and tables
G A
Well I heard somebody shooting a gun
E
Well the DA was pumping my left hand
G A E
And she was holding my right
E
Well I told her don't get scared
G
'Cause you're gonna be spared
A
Well I'm gonna be forgiving
G
If I wanna spend my living
E G
With a long cool woman in a black dress
A E
Just a 5'9 beautiful tall
G
With just one look I was a bad mess
A E
'Cause that long cool woman had it all
Had it all...
