Long Black Veil Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Ten[Dm] year[D]s ago on
a cold dark night,
[A]A man killed 'neath the [G]town hall [D]light.
[G]There were [D]few at the scene
and they all did agree
That the [A]man who ran
looked a [G]lot like [D]me.
[G]Well, [D]the judge said,
"Son what is your alibi ?
If you were [A]somewhere else,
then [G]you won't have to [D]die."
I spoke not a word,
though it meant my life,
I had [A]been in the arms of my
[G]best friend's [D]wife.
She [G]walks these [D]hills in a [G]long black [D]veil.
She [G]visits my [D]grave where
the [G]night winds [D]wail.
Nobody knows, [G]nobody [D]sees,
[G]Nobody [A]knows but [D]me.[A][G][D]
Well, the scaffold is high
and eternity's near
She [A]stood in the crowd [G]and
shed not [D]a tear.
But sometimes at night
[G]when the col[D]d winds moan
In a [A]long black veil, Lord,
she [G]cries all o'er my [D]bones.
She [G]walks these [D]hills in a [G]long black [D]veil.
And [G]visits my [D]grave when the
[G]night winds [D]wail.
Nobody knows, [G]nobody [D]sees,
[G]Nobody [A]knows but [D]me.
[G]Nobody [D]knows, nob[G]ody see[D]s,
[G]Nobody kno[A]ws but me.[G]
