MAN IN THE LONG BLACK COAT
JOAN OSBORNE
INTRO
[Am] [C] [G] [E]
[Am] [C] [G] [Am]
[Am]Crickets are [C]chirpin' the[G] water is[E] high
There's a [Am]soft cotton [C]dress on the l[G]ine hangin' d[Am]ry
[Am]Window's wide [C]open A[G]frican t[E]rees
[Am]Bent over ba[C]ckwards in a h[G]urricane b[Am]reeze
[G]Not a word, a goodbye, not even a note
She's [Am]gone with the [C]man in the l[G]ong black c[Am]oat
[Am]Somebody s[C]eem him h[G]angin' a[E]round
At the [Am]old dance h[C]all on the o[G]utskirts of t[Am]own
He looked i[Am]nto her e[C]yes when she s[G]topped him to a[E]sk
If he [Am]wanted to d[C]ance he had a [G]face like a [Am]mask
[G]Somebody said, from the Bible he quote
There was [Am]dust on the m[C]an in the l[G]ong black c[Am]oat
[Am]Preacher was t[C]alkin' there's a [G]sermon he [E]gave
He said [Am]every man's [C]conscience is v[G]ile and dep[Am]raved
You [Am]cannot dep[C]end on it t[G]o be your g[E]uide
When it's [Am]you who [C]must keep it[G] sati[Am]sfied
[G]It ain't easy to swallow, it sticks in the throat
She give her [Am]heart to the [C]man in the[G] long black[Am] coat
BRIDGE
One, two...
[G]There are no mistakes in life s[C]ome people say
It's t[Am]rue sometimes you can[G] see it that wa[C]y
[G]People don't live or die, [C]people just float
She give her [Am]heart to the [C]man in the l[G]ong black c[Am]oat
GUITAR SOLO
There's [Am]smoke on the [C]water, it's [G]been there since [E]June
[Am]Tree trunks up[C]rooted in the h[G]igh crescent [Am]moon
Hear the [Am]pulse and vi[C]brations and th[G]e rumblin[E]' force
[Am]Somebody's [C]out there b[G]eating on a d[Am]ead horse
[G]She never said nothin', there was nothin' she wrote
She's [Am]gone with the [C]man in the l[G]ong black c[Am]oat
She's [Am]gone with the [C]man in the l[G]ong black c[Am]oat
hope its all good the brige was confusing
