Long Black Veil
The Band
G
Ten years ago, on a cold dark night
There was
D
someone killed 'neath the
C
town hall
G
light
G
There were few at the scene, but they all agreed
That the
D
man who ran looked a
C
lot like
G
me
Chorus
She
C
walks these
G
hills in a
C
long black
G
veil
She
C
visits my
G
grave while the
C
night winds
G
wail
C
Nobody
G
knows,
C
nobody
G
sees,
C
nobody
G
knows
D
but
G
me
The
G
judge said, "Son, what is your alibi?
If you were
D
somewhere else, then
C
you don't have to d
G
ie."
G
I spoke not a word though it meant my life
For I'd been
D
in the arms of my
C
best friends
G
wife
Chorus
G
The scaffold was high and eternity was near
She
D
stood in the crowd and
C
shed not a
G
tear
G
But sometimes at night when the cold winds moan
In a
D
long black veil she
C
cries over my
G
bones
Chorus
