Long Black Veil
(traditional)
G
Ten years ago on a cold dark night
D D7 C G
There was someone shot 'neath the town hall light
G
Few were at the scene but they all agree
D D7 C G
That the man did the shooting looked a lot like me
The judge said "Son, what is your alibi
If you were somewhere else you won't have to die"
I spoke not a word, though it meant my life
For I'd been in the arms of my best friends wife
(Chorus)
C G C D7 G
She walks these hills in a long black veil
C G C D7 G
She visits my grave while the night winds wail
B7 C G
Nobody knows, nobody sees,
A7 D7 G
Nobody knows but me
The scaffold was high, and eternity near
She stood in the crowd, but she shed not a tear
But sometimes late at night, when the cold wind moans
She visits my grave, and she cries o'er my bones
(Chorus)
