Long Black Veil chords
Dill / Wilkin (performed by The Band, The Chieftains, Johnny Cash, Joan Baez, The Byrds
Dave Matthews Band etc.)
[G]Ten years ago on a cool dark night,
there was [D]someone killed beneath the [C]town hall [G]light
There were few at the scene and they all did agree,
that the [D]one who ran looked a [C]lot like [G]me
The [G]judge said "Son, what is your alibi?
If you were [D]somewhere else then [C]you won't have to [G]die"
I spoke not a word although it meant my life,
I had [D]been in the arms of my [C]best friend's [G]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
Nobody knows, no, and [C]nobody [G]sees,
[D]nobody knows but [C]me[G]
The [G]scaffold was high and eternity neared,
she [D]stood in the crowd and [C]shed not a [G]tear
But sometimes at night when the cold wind moans,
in a [D]long black veil she [C]cries over my [G]bones
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
Nobody knows, no, and [C]nobody [G]sees,
[D]nobody knows but [C]me[G]
[D]nobody knows but [C]me[G]
