Long Black Veil The Band
Ten years ago on[G] a cool dark night
There was [D]someone killed 'neath the [C]town hall [G]light
[G]There were few at the scene and they all did agree
That the [D]man who ran looked a [C]lot like [G]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 although it meant my life
I had been in the arms of my best friend's wife
She [C]walks these [G]hills in a [C]long black [G]veil
She [C]visits my [G]grave where the [C]night winds [G]wail
[G]Nobody knows, no, and [C]nobody [G]sees
[C]Nobody [G]knows [D]but [C]me
The scaffold was high and eternity neared
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
But sometimes at night when the cold wind moans
In a long black veil she cries over my bones
