Long Black Veil  Johnny Cash

Capo 1st Fret!!!!!
Verse 1:
[E]Ten years ago on a cold dark night,
[B7]someone was killed by the town[A] hall ligh[E]ts.
[E]Few were at the scene, but they all agreed,
[B7]that the slayer who ran looked a [A]lot like [E]me.
Chorus:
[A]She walks these [E]hills, [A]in a long black [E]veil.
[A]She visits my [E]grave, [A]when the night winds [E]wail.
Nobody knows, [A]nobody [E]sees, [A]nobody [B7]knows, but m[E]e
Verse 2:
[E]The Judge said son, what is your alibi,
[A]if you were somewhere else, [B7]then you won't have [E]to die.
[E]I spoke not a word, though it meant my life,
[A]for i'd been in the arms of my [B7]best friends [E]wife.
Chorus:
[A]She walks these [E]hills, [A]in a long black [E]veil.
[A]She visits my [E]grave, [A]when the night winds [E]wail.
Nobody knows, [A]nobody [E]sees, [A]nobody [B7]knows, but m[E]e
Verse 3:
[E]Now the scaffold is high, and eternity's near.
[A]She stood in the crowd, [B7]and shed not a [E]tear.
[E]But some times at night, when the cold wind moans
[A]In a long black veil, [B7]she cries over my [E]bones
Chorus:
[A]She walks these [E]hills, [A]in a long black [E]veil.
[A]When the cold winds [E]blow, [A]and the night winds [E]wail.
Nobody knows, n[A]obody s[E]ees.
[A]Nobody [B7]knows, but [E]me.
