Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress

Here's my version of the guitar parts.  The notes in

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...
