Long Black Veil
C
Ten years ago, on a cold dark night
G7 F C
There was someone was killed, 'neath the town hall light
C
There were few at the scene, but they all agreed
G7 F C
That the man who ran, looked a lot like me
C
The judge said son, what is your alibi
G7 F C
If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die
C
I spoke not a word, al-tho' it meant my life
G7 F C
For I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife
F C F C
She walks these hills in a long black veil
F C F C
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
C F C
Nobody knows, nobody sees
F G7 C F C
Nobody knows but me
C
The scaffold is high and eternity's near
G7 F C
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
C
But sometimes at night, when the cold wind moans
G7 F C
In a long black veil, she cries o'er my bones
F C F C
She walks these hills in a long black veil
F C F C
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
C F C
Nobody knows, nobody sees
F G7 C F C
Nobody knows but me
