The Long Black Veil

E
Ten years ago, on a cold dark night
B7                              A
Someone was killed, 'neath the 
            E
town hall light


There were few at the scene, but 
they all agreed
           B7                    
That the slayer who ran, looked a 
  A        E
lot like me

      A          E           
She walks these hills in a long 
A          E
black veil
      A         E              A 
She visits my grave when the 
         E
night winds wail
               A      E
Nobody knows, nobody sees
A        B7       E  A E
Nobody knows but me

The judge said son, what is your 
alibi
             B7                    
If you were somewhere else, then 
   A             E
you won't have to die


I spoke not a word, al-tho' it meant
 my life
         B7                     A 
For I'd been in the arms of my 
            E
best friend's wife

      E
The scaffold is high and eternity's 
near
      B7                     A    
She stood in the crowd and shed 
     E
not a tear

But sometimes at night, when the 
cold wind moans
      B7                    A     
In a long black veil, she cries 
        E
o'er my bones
      A          E           
She walks these hills in a long 
A          E
black veil
      A         E              A 
She visits my grave when the 
         E
night winds wail
               A      E
Nobody knows, nobody sees
A        B7       E  A E
Nobody knows but me

She walks these hills in a long 
A          E

      A         E              A

night winds wail
               A      E
Nobody knows, nobody sees

Nobody knows but me
