Long Black Veil

G G Ten years ago, on a cold dark night D C G There was someone killed 'neath the town hall light G There were few at the scene, but they all did agree D C G That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me G The judge said: Son, what is your alibi? D C G If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die G I spoke not a word, though it meant my life D C G For I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife C G C G She walks these hills in a long black veil C G C G She visits my grave when the night winds wail G C Em D/F# Nobody knows, nobody sees C D G Nobody knows but me Link G G The scaffold is high, and eternity's near D C G She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear G But sometimes at night, when the cold wind moans D C G In a long black veil, she cries over my bones C G C G She walks these hills in a long black veil C G C G She visits my grave when the night winds wail G C Em D/F# Nobody knows, nobody sees C D G Nobody knows but me G Em C Em D/F# Nobody knows, nobody sees C D G Nobody knows but me G Ooh ooh.
