Long Black Veil

Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[G][G][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]Ten years ago, on a cool dark night
There was [D]someone killed
'neath the [C]town hall [G]light
There were few at the scene
and they all did agree
That the [D]man who ran looked a [C]lot like [G]me

[Verse 2]
The [G]judge said, "son, what is your alibi?"
"If you were [D]somewhere else,
then [C]you won't have to [G]die"
I spoke not a word, though it meant my life
I had [D]been in the arms of my [C]best friend's [G]wife

[Chorus 1]
She [C]walks these [G]hills in a [C]long black [G]veil
She [C]visits my [G]grave
where the [C]night winds [G]wail
Nobody knows, no, [C]and nobody [G]sees
[C]Nobody kno[G]ws but[D] me[C]
[G][G]

[Verse 3]
The [G]scaffold was high and eternity neared
She [D]stood in the crowd and [C]shed not a [G]tear
But sometimes at night
when the cold wind moans
In a [D]long black veil, she [C]cries over my [G]bones

[Chorus 2]
She [C]walks these [G]hills in a [C]long black [G]veil
She [C]visits my [G]grave
where the [C]night winds [G]wail
Nobody knows, no, [C]and nobody [G]sees
[C]Nobody kno[G]ws but[D] me[C]
