The Long Black Veil

G Ten years ago, on a cold dark night D7 C G Someone was killed, 'neath the town hall light There were few at the scene, but they all agreed D7 C G That the slayer who ran, looked a lot like me G The judge said son, what is your alibi D7 C G If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die I spoke not a word, al-tho' it meant my life D7 C G For I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife [Refrão] C G C G She walks these hills in a long black veil C G C G She visits my grave when the night winds wail C G Nobody knows, nobody sees C D7 G C G Nobody knows but me VERSE 3: G The scaffold is high and eternity's near D7 C G She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear But sometimes at night, when the cold wind moans D7 C G In a long black veil, she cries o'er my bones CHORUS: C G C G She walks these hills in a long black veil C G C G She visits my grave when the night winds wail C G Nobody knows, nobody sees C D7 G C G Nobody knows but me
