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
