Long Black Veil

G Ten years ago, on a cold dark night, there was D C G someone killed 'neath the Town Hall light. There were few at the scene, but they all agreed that the D C G man who ran looked a lot like me. She C G C G walks these hill in a long black veil. She C G C G visits my grave while the night winds wail. C Nobody knows, nobody sees, C D G Nobody knows but me. The judge said: Son, what is your alibi If you were somewhere else, then you don't have to die. I spoke not a word though it ment my life For I'd been in the arms of my best friends wife. C G C G walks these hill in a long black veil. She C G C G visits my grave while the night winds wail. C Nobody knows, nobody sees, C D G Nobody knows but me. The scaffold was high and eternity was near She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear. But sometimes at night when the cold winds moan In a long black veil she cries over my bones. C G C G walks these hill in a long black veil. She C G C G visits my grave while the night winds wail. C Nobody knows, nobody sees, C D G Nobody knows but me.
