[Verse 1]
[Em]Crickets are [G]chirpin' the [D]water is [Bm]high
There's a [Em]soft cotton [G]dress
on the [D]line hangin' [Em]dry
Window wide [G]open [D]African [Bm]trees
[Em]Bent over [G]backwards
from a [D]hurricane [Em]breeze
Not a [D]word of goodbye not even a note
She [Em]gone with the [G]man
in the [D]long black [Em]coat

[Verse 2]
[Em]Somebody [G]seen him [D]hangin' a[Bm]round
At the [Em]old dance h[G]all
on the [D]outskirts of [Em]town
He looked into her [G]eyes
when she [D]stopped him to [Bm]ask
If he [Em]wanted to [G]dance
he had a [D]face like a [Em]mask
[D]Somebody said from the bible he'd quote
There was [Em]dust on the [G]man
in the [D]long black [Em]coat

[Verse 3]
[Em]Preacher was [G]talking
there's a [D]sermon he [Bm]gave
He said [Em]every man's [G]conscience
is [D]vile and de[Em]praved
You cannot de[G]pend on it [D]to be your [Bm]guide
When it's [Em]you who [G]must keep [D]it satis[Em]fied
It ain't eas[D]y to swallow it sticks in the throat
She gave her [Em]heart to the [G]man
in the [D]long black [Em]coat

[Bridge 1]
There [C]are no mistakes in life
[G]some people say
It is [Em]true sometimes
you can [D]see it that [Em]way
But [C]people don't live or die [G]people just float
She [Em]went with the man
in the [D]long black [Em]coat

[Verse 4]
There's [Em]smoke on the [G]water
it's [D]been there since [Bm]June
[Em]Tree trunks up[G]rooted
beneath the [D]high crescent [Em]moon
Feel the pulse and vib[G]ration
and the [D]rumbling [Bm]force
[Em]Somebody is out [G]there
beating [D]on a dead [Em]horse
She [D]never said nothing
there was nothing she wrote
She [Em]gone with the [G]man
in the [D]long black [Em]coat
