Hi. It's been too long since my last one......
Man In the Long Black Coat Bob Dylan
3/4 time
fool around in F#m
Crickets are chirpin' the water is high
There's a soft cotton dress? on the line hangin' dry
Windows wide open African trees
Bent over backwards from a hurricane breeze
Not a word, a goodbye, not even a note
She gone with the man in the long black coat
Somebody singing hangin' around At the old dance hall on the outskirts of town He looked into her eyes when she stopped him to ask If he wanted to dance he had a face like a mask Somebody said, from the Bible he quote There was dust on the man in the long black coat
Preacher was talkin' there's a sermon he gave He said every man's conscience is vile and depraved You cannot depend on him to be your guide And it's you who must keep it satisfied It ain't easy to swallow, it sticks in the throat To give her heart to the man in the long black coat
There are no mistakes in life some people say
And it's true sometimes you can see it that way
People don't live or die, people just float
She went with the man in the long black coat
There's smoke on the water its been there since June Tree trunks uprooted neath the high passing moon Feel the pulse and vibrations and the rumblin' force Somebody is out there beating on a dead horse She never said nothin', there was nothin' she wrote She went with the man in the long black coat
