Dave Gunning - The long black veil

^GTen years ago, on a cold dark night There was ^Dsomeone killed, 'neath the ^Ctown hall ^Glights Just a few at the scene, but they all did agree That the ^Dman who ran looked a ^Clot like ^Gme The judge said son, what is your alibi If you were ^Dsomewhere else, then you ^Cwon't have to ^Gdie Well I spoke not a word, although it meant my life I'd ^Dbeen in the arms of my ^Cbest friend's ^Gwife

She ^Cwalks these ^Ghills, in a ^Clong black ^Gveil She ^Cvisits my ^Ggrave, when the ^Cnight winds ^Gwail Nobody knows, lord, ^Cnobody ^Gsees, ^Cnobody ^Dknows but ^Emme

Well the ^Gscaffold was high, and eternity near She ^Dstood in the crowd, and ^Cshed not a ^Gtear But sometimes at night, when the cold wind moans In a ^Dlong black veil, she ^Ccries all over my ^Gbones

She ^Cwalks these ^Ghills, in a ^Clong black ^Gveil She ^Cvisits my ^Ggrave, when ^Cthe night winds ^Gwail Nobody knows, ^Cnobody ^Gsees, ^Cnobody ^Dknows but ^Emme ^GNobody knows, ^Cnobody ^Gsees, ^Cnobody ^Dknows but ^Emme
