Long Black Veil

Lefty Frizzell
Intro: ÊD
 D
 Ten years ago on a cold dark night
 AGD
There was someone killed ‘neath the town hall light
There were few at the scene, but they all agree
 AGD
That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me
The judge said son what is your alibi
 AGD
If you were somewhere else then you won’t have to die
I spoke not a word though it meant my life
 AGD
For I had been in the arms of my best friend’s wife
 GD
She walks these hills
 GD
In a long black veil
 GD
She visits my grave
 GD
When the night winds wail
 GD
Nobody knows, nobody sees,
 GAD
 nobody knows but me
 D
The scaffold’s high and eternity near
 AGD
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
 D
But sometimes at night when the cold wind blows
 AGD
In a long black veil she cries o’er my bones
 GD
She walks these hills
 GD
In a long black veil
 GD
She visits my grave
 GD
When the night winds wail
 GD
Nobody knows, nobody sees,
 GAD
 nobody knows but me
 GAD
 Nobody knows but me
 GAD
 Nobody knows but me
