Long Black Veil

A
Ten years ago on a cool dark night
          E                        
There was someone killed beneath 
  D         A
the town hall light
           A
There were few at the scene and they
 all did agree
         E                    D   
That the man who ran looked a lot 
     A
like me


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


[Chorus]
    D           A          D 
She walks these hills in a long 
         A
black veil

    D         A               D  
She visits my grave where the 
         A
night winds wail
A                       D        
  Nobody knows, no, and   nobody 
A
sees
D        E         A
  Nobody knows but me


[Verse 3]
    A
The scaffold was high and eternity 
neared
    E                      D      
She stood in the crowd and shed 
    A
not a tear
    A
But sometimes at night when the cold
 wind moans
     E                   D        
In a long black veil she cries 
     A
over my bones


[Chorus]
    D           A          D 
She walks these hills in a long 
         A
black veil
    D         A               D  
She visits my grave where the 
         A
night winds wail
A                       D        
  Nobody knows, no, and   nobody 
A
sees
D        E         A
  Nobody knows but me


[Chorus]
    D           A          D 
She walks these hills in a long 
         A
black veil
    D         A               D  
She visits my grave where the 
         A
night winds wail
A                       D        
  Nobody knows, no, and   nobody 
A
sees
D        E         A
  Nobody knows but me

A                       D        
  Nobody knows, no, and   nobody 
A

D        E         A
  Nobody knows but me
