The Long Black Veil
Dave Gunning
(Em G Em D G)
Ten years ago, on a cold dark night
There was (D)someone killed, 'neath the (C)town hall (G)lights
Just a few at the scene, but they all did agree
That the (D)man who ran looked a (C)lot like (G)me
The judge said son, what is your alibi
If you were (D)somewhere else, then you (C)won't have to (G)die
Well I spoke not a word, although it meant my life
I'd (D)been in the arms of my (C)best friend's (G)wife
(Chorus 1)
She (C)walks these (G)hills, in a (C)long black (G)veil
She (C)visits my (G)grave, when the (C)night winds (G)wail
Nobody knows, lord, (C)nobody (G)sees, (C)nobody (D)knows but (Em)me
Well the (G)scaffold was high, and eternity near
She (D)stood in the crowd, and (C)shed not a (G)tear
But sometimes at night, when the cold wind moans
In a (D)long black veil, she (C)cries all over my (G)bones
(Chorus 2)
She (C)walks these (G)hills, in a (C)long black (G)veil
She (C)visits my (G)grave, when (C)the night winds (G)wail
Nobody knows, (C)nobody (G)sees, (C)nobody (D)knows but (Em)me
(G)Nobody knows, (C)nobody (G)sees, (C)nobody (D)knows but (Em)me
