[Intro 1]
[Em][G][D][Bm][Em][G][D][Em]

[Verse 1]
[Em]Crickets are [G]chirping,
wa[D]ter is [Bm]high
There's a [Em]soft cotton dress
[G]hanging [D]dry on the [Em]line
The windows wide [G]open,
[D]African [Bm]trees [Em]bent over back
[G]wards from [D]a hurricane b[Em]reeze
And a [G]word of goodbye, not even a no
She's [Em]gone with the [G]man
in the [D]long [Em]black coat
Somebody seen [G]him hanging
[Em]arou[D]nd[Bm]
At the [Em]old dance hall
[G]on the out[D]skirts of town
[Em]He looked into her eyes,[G]
[D]she stopped him to [Bm]ask
If he [Em]wanted to [G]dance,
he had a [D]face like a [Em]mask
[G]Somebody said, from Babel the Quote
There was [Em]dust on the man
[G]in the lon[D]g bla[Em]ck coat
Preacher was talk[G]ing,
there's a [D]sermon he [Bm]gave
He [Em]said, every man's [G]conscience
is [D]vile and de[Em]praved
You cannot depend [G]on it to [D]be [Bm]your guide
But it's [Em]you who m[G]ust keep i[D]t satisfied
[Em]It ain't[G] easy to swallow,
it sticks in the throat
She gave her [Em]heart to the [G]man
in the [D]long [Em]black coat
One, two
There [G]are no mistakes in life
Some people say
That it's [Bm]true sometimes
You can't [D]see it that [Em]way
When [G]people don't live or die,
people just float
Just [Em]one with the [G]man
in the [D]long [Em]black coat
The smoke on the water,
it's been [D]there [Bm]since June
Tree [Em]trunks uprooted
[G]from [D]the high crescent [Em]moon
Pulse, vibra[G]tion, [D]rumbling [Bm]for ce
Some[Em]body's [G]out there
beating [D]on a [Em]dead horse
She [G]never said nothing,
there's nothing she wrote
She's [Em]gone with the [G]man
in the [D]long [Em]black coat
Gone with the [G]man in the [D]long
[Em]black [G]coat[D][Em][G]
you
