Now play a simple E major chord, periodically putting your pinky on the A string,  
4th fret, and lifting your ring finger (This is a great way to build up your pinky):

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  

A  
A pair of 45's made me open my eyes  
B  
My temperature started to rise  
B          A  
She was a long cool woman in a black dress  
A      G              E  
Just a 5'9, beautiful tall  
A  
With just one look I was a bad mess  
A         G                      E             
'cos that long cool woman had it all

Repeat the E, G, A over all the rest of the lyrics:  

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

Well the da was pumping my left hand  
And then she was a-holding my right  
Well I told her don't get scared  
'cos you're gonna be spared  
Well I've gotta be forgiven  
If I wanna spend my living  
With a long cool woman in a black dress  
Just a 5'9 beautiful tall  
Well, with just one look I was a bad mess  
'cos that long cool woman had it all
