Long Black Veil traditional
Native Key: G
[G]Ten years ago on a cold dark night
There was s[D]omeone [D7]shot 'neath the [C]town hall [G]light
F[G]ew were at the scene but they all [G7]agree
That the kill[D]er l[D7]ooked a [C]lot like [G]me
[G]The judge said "Son, what is your alibi
If you were somew[D]here[D7] else y[C]ou won't have to[G] die"
[G]I spoke not a word, though it meant my life
For I'd be[D]en in the a[D7]rms of my [C]best friend's[G] wife
She w[C]alks these [G]hills in a l[C]ong [D7]black [G]veil
She [C]visits my g[G]rave while the[C] night[D7] winds [G]wail
[G]Nobody knows, [C]nobody [G]sees,
[C]Nobody[D7] knows but[G] me
-------Instrumental break one verse-------------
[G]The scaffold was high, and [G7]eternity near
She stoo[D]d in the c[D7]rowd, but she s[C]hed not a [G]tear
[G]But sometimes late at night, when the [G7]cold wind moans
She v[D]isits my [D7]grave, and she c[C]ries o'er my [G]bones
