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
