The Band - Long Black Veil

^ETen years ago on a cold dark night There was ^Bsomeone killed 'neath the ^Amtown hall ^Elight. There were few at the scene and they all did agree That the ^Bman who ran looked a ^Amlot like ^Eme.

^EThe judge said, "Son, what is your alibi? If you were ^Bsomewhere else then you ^Amwon't have to ^Edie. I said not a word though it meant my life, I had ^Bbeen in the arms of my ^Ambest friend's ^Ewife.

^AmShe walks these ^Ehills ^Amin a long black ^Eveil. ^AmShe visits my ^Egrave ^Amwhen the night winds ^Ewail. Nobody knows, no, and ^Amnobody ^Esees; nobody ^Bknows but ^Amme.

^EThe scaffold was high and eternity near She ^Bstood in the crowd and shed ^Amnot a tear ^EBut sometimes at night when the cold wind moans In a ^Blong black veil she ^Amcries over my ^Ebones.
