Long Black Veil
(traditional)
GTen years ago on a cold dark night
ThereD was soD7meone shot 'neatCh the townG hall light
FGew were at the scene but they all agree
ThaDt the man didD7 the shooting looCked a lotG like me
The judge said "Son, what is your alibi
If you were somewhere else you won't have to die"
I spoke not a word, though it meant my life
For I'd been in the arms of my best friends wife
(Chorus)
ShCe walks Gthese hills Cin a lD7ong blGack veil
ShCe visiGts my grave whilCe the D7night wiGnds wail
Nobody B7knows, Cnobody Gsees,
A7Nobody kD7nows but Gme
The scaffold was high, and eternity near
She stood in the crowd, but she shed not a tear
But sometimes late at night, when the cold wind moans
She visits my grave, and she cries o'er my bones
(Chorus)
