Long Black Veil

ALBUM - Sing of his "LIFE AS A RODEO MAN" - 1975 LONG BLACK VEIL CAPO I D Ten years ago on a cold dark night, A G D Someone was killed 'neath the town hall lights There were few at the scene, but they all agreed, A G D That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me The judge said "Son, what is your alibi? A G D If you were somewhere else then you won't have to die." I spoke not a word, though it meant my life, A G D I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife G D G D Now she walks these hills, in a long black veil G D G D She visits my grave when the night winds wail G D G A D Nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows but me The scaffold was high and eternity near, A G D She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear But sometimes at night, when the cold wind moans, A G D In a long black veil, she cries o'er my bones G D G D Now she walks these hills, in a long black veil G D G D She visits my grave when the night winds wail G D G A D Nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows but me G D G A D Nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows but me
