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