Long Black Veil

	  		G                                               
Ten years ago on a cold dark night 
      D      D7              C         G 
There was someone shot 'neath the town hall light 
 G                      
Few were at the scene but they all agree 
    D            D7               C        G 
That the man did the shooting looked a lot like me 
 
The judge said "Son, what is your alibi 
If you were somewhere else you won't have to die" 
I spoke not a word, though it meant my life 
For I'd been in the arms of my best friends wife

C G C D7 G She walks these hills in a long black veil C G C D7 G She visits my grave while the night winds wail B7 C G Nobody knows, nobody sees, A7 D7 G Nobody knows but me

The scaffold was high, and eternity near 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 (Chorus) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Glenn Estes,Accounting Manager| My opinions do not reflect those of B Levy & Son | my employer, unless he happens to be right.
