Long Black Veil

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

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

C  g   c g

She walks these hills in a long black veil
C    g    c  g
She visits my grave where the night winds wail
G   c g
Nobody knows, no, and nobody sees
C   g  d  c
Nobody knows but me

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