Long Black Veil

 E
Ten years ago, on a cold, dark 
night,
     B7                           
Somebody was killed, 'neath the 
A         E
town hall lights.
            E
There were few at the scene, but 
they all agreed,
           B7                    
That the slayer who ran, looked a 
  A        E
lot like me.


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

[Verse 2]
 E
The judge said "Son, what is your 
alibi?",
     B7                          
"If you were somewhere else, then 
        A         E
you won't have to die".
           E
And I spoke not a word, though it 
meant my life,
     B7                       A
I'd been in the arms, of my best 
         E
friend's wife.


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


[Verse 3]
           E
Now the scaffold is high, and 
eternity's near,
      B7                     A    
She stood in the crowd, and shed 
     E
not a tear.
            E
But sometimes at night, when a cold 
wind moans,
       B7                       A 
In a long black veil, she cries 
        E
o'er my bones.


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