Long Black Veil Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
Ten [Am]Years Ago
On a cold dark night
There was [E]some one kid
Neath [Dm]the town hall [Am]light
There were few at the scene
But they all agreed
That the [E]slayer who ran,
[Dm]well, he looked a lot like [Am]me.
The judge said, so, what is your alibi?
[E]If you were somewhere else,
Then [Dm]you don't have to d[Am]ie
A scorn, not a word
Although it meant my life
For [E]I'd, I'd bear him in the arms
Of my [Dm]best friend's [Am]wife
[E]She [Dm]walks these [Am]hills
In a [Dm]long black [Am]veil
She [Dm]misses my [Am]face
when the [Dm]night makes [Am]way
Nobody knows, [Dm]nobody [Am]sees,
[Dm]nobody [E]knows but [Am]me.
Thank [E]you.[Dm][Am]
[E]
[Esus4][E][Dm][Am]
Now the scaffold is high,
and eternity near.
She's [E]still in the crowd,
and she [Dm]sheds not a [Am]tear.
But sometimes at night
when the cold winds blow
In a [E]long black veil she [Dm]cries,
Soar my [Am]boats
She [Dm]walks these [Am]hills
In a [Dm]long black [Am]veil
She [Dm]visits my [Am]grave
When the [Dm]night winds [Am]wail
Nobody [Dm]knows[Am]
Nobody [Dm]sees
Nobody [E]knows but me

[Outro 1]
[Am]
