Long Black Veil Chords

Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 TEen years ago, on a cold, dark night,

 SomebB7ody was killed, 'neath the toAwn hall liEghts.

 There were fEew at the scene, but they all agreed,

 That the slB7ayer who ran, looked a lAot like mEe.

 She waAlks these hiElls, in a loAng black vEeil,

 She viAsits my grEave, when the niAght winds wEail.

 Nobody knAows, nobody seEes,

 NB7obody knows but mEe.

The judge said "Son, what is your alibi?",

"If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die".

And I spoke not a word, though it meant my life,

I'd been in the arms, of my best friend's wife.

She walks these hills, in a long black veil,

She visits my grave, when the night winds wail.

Nobody knows, nobody sees,

Nobody knows but me.

Now the scaffold is high, and eternity's near,

She stood in the crowd, and shed not a tear.

But sometimes at night, when a cold wind moans,

In a long black veil, she cries o'er my bones.

She walks these hills, in a long black veil,

She visits my grave, when the night winds wail.

Nobody knows, nobody sees,

Nobody knows but me.
