The Long Black Veil Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]It was ten years ago,
[D]on a [G]cold dark night
[D]Someone was killed
beneath the [C]town hall light
[G]There were few at the scene,
but they all agreed
The [D]killer who ran,
he [C]looked a lot like me
[G]Now the judge said, son, what's your alibi?
If [D]you were somewhere else,
then you [C]won't have to die
[G]I spoke not a word,
although it meant my life
I'd [D]been in the arms
of my [C]best friend's [G]wife
Now she [C]walks these [G]hills
in a [C]long black [G]veil
She [C]visits my grave
[G]when the nig[C]ht winds wai[G]l
Nobody knows, [C]nobody [G]sees,
[C]nobody [D]knows but me
[G]Now the scaffold was high,
eternity [D]was near
[G]She stood in [D]the crowd,
[C]and she shed not a tear
[G]But sometimes at night,
when the cold winds moan
In a [D]long black veil, she [C]cries over home
[G]Now she walk[C]s these [G]hills
in a [C]long black [G]veil
She [C]visits my grave
[G]when the nig[C]ht winds wai[G]l
Nobody knows, [C]nobody [G]sees,
[C]nobody kno[D]ws but me
[G]Now[D] she[G] walks [C]these [G]hills
in a [C]long black [G]veil
She [C]visits my grave
[G]when the nig[C]ht winds wai[G]l
