The Band - Long Black Veil: chords

G
Ten years ago on a cool dark night
           D                          C         G
There was someone killed beneath 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

Chorus:
     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 G
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

Chorus:
She walks these hills in a long black veil
She visits my grave where the night winds wail
Nobody knows, no, and nobody sees
Nobody knows but me
