[Verse 1]
F#m A E C#m
Crickets are chirpin’, the water is high
F#m A E F#m
There’s a soft cotton dress on the line hangin’ dry
F#m A E C#m
Window wide open, African trees
F#m A E F#m
Bent over backwards from a hurricane breeze
E E
Not a word of goodbye, not even a note
F#m A
She gone with the man
E F#m
In the long black coat
[Verse 2]
F#m A E C#m
Somebody seen him hanging around
F#m A E F#m
At the old dance hall on the outskirts of town
F#m A E C#m
He looked into her eyes when she stopped him to ask
F#m A E F#m
If he wanted to dance, he had a face like a mask
E E
Somebody said from the Bible he’d quote
F#m A
There was dust on the man
E F#m
In the long black coat
[Verse 3]
F#m A E C#m
Preacher was a talkin’, there’s a sermon he gave
F#m A E F#m
He said every man’s conscience is vile and depraved
F#m A E C#m
You cannot depend on it to be your guide
F#m A E F#m
When it’s you who must keep it satisfied
E E
It ain’t easy to swallow, it sticks in the throat
F#m A
She gave her heart to the man
E F#m
In the long black coat
[Middle 8]
D A
There are no mistakes in life some people say
F#m E F#m
It is true sometimes you can see it that way
D A
But people don't live or die, people just float
F#m A
She went with the man
E F#m
In the long black coat
[Verse 4]
F#m A E C#m
There’s smoke on the water, it’s been there since June
F#m A E F#m
Tree trunks uprooted, 'neath the high crescent moon
F#m A E C#m
Feel the pulse and vibration and the rumbling force
F#m A E F#m
Somebody is out there beating on a dead horse
E E
She never said nothing, there was nothing she wrote
F#m A
She gone with the man
E F#m
In the long black coat
