Long Black Veil

Key: C

Introduction:

C  
Ten years ago on a cold dark night
G7                                                                         F                      C  
Someone was killed 'neath the town hall light
C  
Just a few at the scene, and they all did agree
                        G7                                                            F                 C  
That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me
C  
The judge said "Son, what is your alibi?
                                G7                                                            F                                    C  
If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die"
C  
I spoke not a word, although it meant my life
                     G7                                                      F                                 C  
For I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife
             F                         C                         F                         C  
She walks these hills in a long black veil
          F                         C                                 F                            C  
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
C                 C7            F              C  
Nobody knows, nobody sees
F                 G7                      C  
Nobody knows, but me
          C  
The scaffold was high, and eternity near
          G7                                                         F                            C  
She stood in the crowd, and shed not a tear
          C  
But sometimes at night when the cold winds moan
                G7                                                 F                              C  
In a long black veil, she cries o'er my bones
