Long Black Veil Johnny Cash
Intro:
| F | C | F | C |
| C | C | C | C |
Ten yea[C]rs ago on a cold, dark night,
[G] Someone was killed 'neath the town hall lights.[F] [C]
There were few at the scene but they all agreed
That the slaye[G]r who ran looked a lot like me.[F] [C]
She wal[F]ks these hills in [C]a long black[F] veil.[C]
She vis[F]its my grave w[C]hen the night winds wai[F]l.[C]
Nobody knows, nobody s[F]ees.[C]
[F] Nobody knows [G]but me.[C]
Interlude:

The jud[C]ge said, "Son, what is your alibi?
If you were somewher[G]e else, then you won't have to d[F]ie."[C]
I spoke not a word, though it meant my life,
For I'd bee[G]n in the arms of my best friend's w[F]ife.[C]
Now the scaffol[C]d is high, and eternity's near.
[G] She stood in a crowd and shed not a tea[F]r.[C]
But sometimes at night, when the cold wind moans,
In a lo[G]ng black veil she cries o'er [F]my bones.[C]
She wal[F]ks these hills in [C]a long black[F] veil.[C]
She vis[F]its my grave w[C]hen the night winds wai[F]l.[C]
Nobody knows, nobody s[F]ees.[C]
[F] Nobody knows [G]but me.[C]
[C] Nobody knows, nobod[F]y sees.[C]
[F] Nobody knows [G]but me.[C]
