3/4 time
fool around in F#m
FA#m LA MI DO#m
FA#m LA MI FA#m
FA#m LA MI DO#m
Crickets are chirpin' the water is high
FA#m LA MI FA#m
There's a soft cotton dress? on the line hangin' dry
FA#m LA MI DO#m
Windows wide open African trees
FA#m LA MI FA#m
Bent over backwards from a hurricane breeze
MI
Not a word, a goodbye, not even a note
FA#m LA MI FA#m
She gone with the man in the long black coat
Somebody singing hangin' around
At the old dance hall on the outskirts of town
He looked into her eyes when she stopped him to ask
If he wanted to dance he had a face like a mask
Somebody said, from the Bible he quote
There was dust on the man in the long black coat
Preacher was talkin' there's a sermon he gave
He said every man's conscience is vile and depraved
You cannot depend on him to be your guide
And it's you who must keep it satisfied
It ain't easy to swallow, it sticks in the throat
To give her heart to the man in the long black coat
RE LA
There are no mistakes in life some people say
FA#m MI FA#m
And it's true sometimes you can see it that way
RE LA
People don't live or die, people just float
FA#m MI FA#m
She went with the man in the long black coat
There's smoke on the water its been there since June
Tree trunks uprooted neath the high passing moon
Feel the pulse and vibrations and the rumblin' force
Somebody is out there beating on a dead horse
She never said nothin', there was nothin' she wrote
She went with the man in the long black coat
