            "Long Black Veil" by the Band

[Verse]
E
Ten years ago on a cold dark night
          B                         A         E
There was someone killed 'neath the town hall light
E
There were few at the scene and they all did agree
         B                    A        E
That the man who ran looked a lot like me.

E
The judge said, "Son, what is your alibi?
            B                   A                 E
If you were somewhere else then you won't have to die."
E
I said not a word though it meant my life,
      B                      A             E
I had been in the arms of my best friend's wife.

[Chorus]
A              E     A               E
She walks these hills in a long black veil.
A              E   A                    E
She visits my grave when the night winds wail.
E                     A      E     E      B         A
Nobody knows, no, and nobody sees; nobody knows but me.

[Verse]
E
The scaffold was high and eternity near
    B                      A          E
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
E
But sometimes at night when the cold wind moans
     B                   A             E
In a long black veil she cries over my bones.

[Chorus]
A               E     A               E
She walks these hills in a long black veil.
A               E   A                    E
She visits my grave when the night winds wail.
E                     A      E     E      B         A
Nobody knows, no, and nobody sees; nobody knows but me.
