Long Black Veil Chords

CAPO  1
 
A
Ten years ago, on a cold dark night 
E7 x                            D             A
Someone was killed, 'neath the town hall light 
 
There were few at the scene, but they all agreed
           E7 x                  D         A
That the slayer who ran, looked a lot like me 
 
        D          A       D         A
She walks these hills in a long black veil 
        D         A         D          A
She visits my grave when the night winds wail 
 
          D           A
Nobody knows, nobody sees 
D        E7 x       A
Nobody knows but me     
 
 A
The judge said son, what is your alibi 
 E7 x                                 D                 A
If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die 
 
I spoke not a word,   al-tho' it meant my life
 E7 x                             D            A
For I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife 
 
 
 A
The scaffold is high and eternity's near 
  E7 x                       D             A
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear 
 
But sometimes at night, when the cold wind moans
  E7 x                      D          A
In a long black veil, she cries o'er my bones 
 
 
        D          A       D         A
She walks these hills in a long black veil 
       D         A         D          A
She visits my grave when the night winds wail 
 
         D          A
Nobody knows, nobody sees 
D        E7 x       A
Nobody knows but me
