Long Black Veil Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Ten years ago,
on a cold dark night
[A]Someone was killed
near the [G]town hall [D]lights
There were few at the scene,
but they all agreed
That the [A]slayer who ran
looked a [G]lot like [D]me
The judge said, girl, what is your alibi?
If [A]you were somewhere else,
then [G]you won't have [Asus4]to die[D]
But I spoke not a word,
though it meant my life
For I have [A]been in the arms
of my [G]be st [Asus4]friend's [D]wife
And she [G]walks these [D]hills
in a [G]long black [D]veil
And [G]this is my [D]grave
where the [G]night wind [D]wails
Nobody knows and [G]nobody [D]sees
[G]Nobody knows,
[A]nob[D]ody nee[A]ds
[G][Asus4][D][A]
[G][D]
Now the gallows are high,
and he turned and he's near
She [A]stood in the crowd,
and [D]she [G]shed not [Asus4]a tear[D]
But sometimes at night,
when the cold wind blows
She vis[A]its my grave
and [G]cries over my [D]bones
She [G]walks these [D]hills in a [G]long black [D]veil
She [G]visits my [D]grave
when the [G]night wind [D]wails
Nobody knows and [G]nobody [D]sees
[G]Nobody [A]knows but [D]me
Nobody knows and [G]nobody [D]sees
[G]Nobody [A]knows but [D]me
[G]Nobody [A]knows but me
[D]
