Long Black Veil

Stoney Larue

Capo 3 
 
A  
Ten years ago, on a cold dark night 
E                   D                   A 
A man was killed, beneath the town hall light 
A 
Though there were few, present at the scene 
     E                     D                A 
They say the man who fled, looked alot like me 

Refrão -------------
        D           A           D          A 
And she walks these hills, in a long black veil 
D             A               D           A 
She visits my grave, when the night winds wail 
D      A      D      A 
Nobody knows, nobody sees 
D      E         A    D E A 
Nobody knows but me
--------------------

The judge said son, what's your alibi 
If you were somewhere else, then you would not have to die 
But I did not say a word, though it meant my life 
For I was in the arms of my best friends wife 
 
(Chorus) 
 
The scaffold is high and eternity is near 
She was in the crowd, she shed not a tear 
Oh sometimes late at night, when the cold wind blows 
The long black veil it rests over my bones 
 
(Chorus) 
D      A      D      A 
Nobody knows, nobody sees 
D      E   A 
Nobody knows

Ten years ago on a cold 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.

G
The judge said, "Son, what is your alibi?
            D                   C                 G
If you were somewhere else then you won't have to die"
G
I said not a word though it meant my life,
      D                      C             G
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 when the night winds wail.
G                     C      G            D         C
Nobody knows, no, and nobody sees; nobody knows but me.

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

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.
G                     C      G                     C
Nobody knows, no, and nobody sees; nobody knows but me.

She stood in the crowd, but she shed not a tear 
But sometimes late at night, when the cold wind moans 
She visits my grave, and she cries o'er my bones
