Subject: GuitarTAB of Man in the long black coat by Joan Osborne, Album Relish
Man In the Long Black Coat
==========================
Album: Relish by Joan Osborne (1995)
orig. by Bob Dylan
transcribed by airborne@ciphp01.physik.uni-freiburg.de
INTRO:
Dm Cm Bb (2 times)
Gm Bb C D
Crickets are chirpin' the water is high
Gm Bb F Gm
There's a soft cotton dress on the line hangin' dry
Gm Bb C D
Window's wide open African trees
Gm Bb F Gm
Bent over backwards in a hurricane breeze
F VIII
Not a word, a goodbye, not even a note
Gm Bb F Gm
She's gone with the man in the long black coat
Gm Bb C D
Somebody seem him hangin' around
Gm Bb F Gm
At the old dance hall on the outskirts of town
Gm Bb C D
He looked into her eyes when she stopped him to ask
Gm Bb F Gm
If he wanted to dance he had a face like a mask
F VIII
Somebody said, from the Bible he quote
Gm Bb F Gm
There was dust on the man in the long black coat
Gm Bb C D
Preacher was talkin' there's a sermon he gave
Gm Bb F Gm
He said every man's conscience is vile and depraved
Gm Bb C D
You cannot depend on it to be your guide
Gm Bb F Gm
When it's you who must keep it satisfied
F VIII
It ain't easy to swallow, it sticks in the throat
Gm Bb F Gm
She give her heart to the man in the long black coat
One, two...
D#m Bb
There are no mistakes in life some people say
G5 X F VIII G5 X
It's true sometimes you can see it that way
D#m Bb
People don't live or die, people just float
Gm Bb F Gm
She give her heart to the man in the long black coat
GUITAR SOLO
Gm Bb C D
There's smoke on the water, it's been there since June
Gm Bb F Gm
Tree trunks uprooted in the high crescent moon
Gm Bb C D
Hear the pulse and vibrations and the rumblin' force
Gm Bb F Gm
Somebody's out there beating on a dead horse
F VIII
She never said nothin', there was nothin' she wrote
Gm Bb F Gm
She's gone with the man in the long black coat
Gm Bb F Gm
She's gone with the man in the long black coat
etc.

I tried to figure out exactly, if they play Gm or G, or Dm or D etc....
But I`m not really sure, if i succeeded... I think it sounds very good,
too,
if you use just powerchords (G5, Bb5, C5, D5 etc...)...
G5 X means that you should play G5 at the 10th fret...
I`m sorry, but I wasn`t able to transcribe the Solo part (yet).
If anyone has any idea about that, let me know...
