Long Black Veil
by Johnny Cash

C
Ten years ago on a cold dark night
  G7                           F         C
Someone was killed beneath the town hall light
 
There were few at the scene but they all agreed
         G7                      F        C
That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me
 
    F           C
She walks these hills
     F          C
In a long black veil
    F         C
She visits my grave
         F           C
When the night winds wail
             F      C
Nobody knows nobody sees 
F      G7        C
Nobody knows but me  
 
 
The judge said son what is your alibi
       G7                       F                 C
If you were somewhere else then you won't have to die
 
I spoke not a word though it meant my life
          G7                     F             C
For I had been in the arms of my best friend's wife
 
 Repeat #2
                                       
The scaffold's high and eternity near
    G7                     F          C
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
                                                 
But sometimes at night when the cold wind blows
     G7                  F             C
In a long black veil she cries over my bones
 
repeat #2
