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)
