[F#m]
[A] [E] [C#m]
[F#m] [A] [E]
[F#m]
Crickets [A] are chirping, [E] the water [C#m] is high.
[F#m] There's a soft [A] cotton dress [E] on the line, [F#m] hanging dry.
Windows [A] wide open, [E]
African [C#m] trees [F#m] are bent [A] over backwards [E] from a hurricane [F#m] breeze.
[E] Not a word of goodbye, not even a note.
[F#m] She'd gone [A] with a man in [E] the long black [F#m] coat.
Somebody [A]
seen him [E] hanging [C#m] around [F#m] at the old [A] dance hall [E] on the [F#m] outskirts of town.
He looked into her [A] eyes [E] when she stopped in [C#m] to ask [F#m] if he wanted [A] to dance.
He had [E] a face [F#m] like a man's.
[E]
Somebody said from the bible he'd quote,
[F#m] there was dust [A] on the man [E] in the long [F#m] black coat.
The preacher [A] wasn't talking, [E] there's a sermon [C#m] he gave.
He said [F#m] every [A] man's conscience is [E] vile [F#m] and depraved.
You cannot [A] depend on [E] it to be your [C#m] guide when [F#m] it's you [A] who must [E] keep it [F#m]
satisfied.
It [E] ain't easy to swallow, it sticks in the throat.
She [F#m] gave her heart to the [A] man [E] in the long [F#m] black coat.
[D]
There are no mistakes in [A] life, some people say [F#m] it is true sometimes.
[E] You can see it that way.
[F#m] [D] But people don't live or die, [A] people just float.
[F#m] She went with [A] the man [E] in the long [F#m] black coat.
I smoothed on the water, [E] it's been there since [C#m] June.
[F#m] Tree trunks [A]
uprooted, [E] beneath the high [F#m] crescent moon.
Feel the pulse [A] and vibration [E] and the rumbling.
[C#m]
Voice, [F#m] somebody [A] is out there [E] beating on [F#m] the dead horse.
[E] She never said nothing, there was nothing.
She rode, [F#m] she'd go with [A] the man [E] in the long [F#m] black coat.
