Long Black Veil

	  		 
 
D 
10 years ago on a cold dark night 
A                            G         D   
Someone was killed neath the town hall lights 
           D  
There were few at the scene but they all agreed 
         A                       G        D  
That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me 
 
    G           D          G          D  
She walks these hills in a long black veil 
    G         D              G           D  
She visits my grave when the night winds wail 
D            G      D 
Nobody knows nobody sees 
A                D 
Nobody knows but 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 though it meant my life 
Cause I'd been in the arms of my best friends wife 
 
Now the scaffold is high and eternity's near 
Sshe stood in the crowd and shed not a tear 
Ssometimes at night when the cold wind moans 
In a long black veil she cries over my bones
