long black veil Hank Williams
[D]Ten years ago on a cold dark night
Someone was kil[A]led 'neath the town hall light[G] [D]
There were few at the scene,but they all agree
That the [A]slayer who ran looked a lot like me.[G] [D]
[D]The judge said son what is your alibi
If you were some wh[A]ere else then maybe you [G]
won't have to die[D]
I spoke not a word all though it meant my life
For I had been in[A] the arms of my best friend's [G]
[D]wife.
(CHORUS)
She wal[G]k these hills[D]
In a lo[G]ng black veil[D]
She visi[G]ts my grave[D]
when the night w[G]inds w-ai-ails[D]
Nobody knows,nobody sees[G] [D]
Nobody knows b[A]ut me.[D]
[D]The scaffold was high and eternity near
She s[A]tood in the crowd and shed not a tear[G] [D]
But som[D]etimes at night when the cold wind moans (A)
[G](spoken)>In a long black veil she cries o'er my
[D]bones.
(REPEAT CHORUS)
[G]LONG BLACK V[A]EIL[D]

Hank Williams never did this song. Maybe Hank JR. did. Not Hank Sr.

I think you will find this closer
to the actual song.
Remember you can always change it back?
