Long Black Veil

(início)

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
