The Long Black Veil
Johnny Cash
Ton : G
TGen years ago on a cold dark night
SDomeone was killed beneath the Ctown hall lights G
There were few at the scene but they all agreed
TDhat the slayer who ran looked a lCot like me G
SChe walks these hiGlls in a lCong black veGil
SChe visits my grGave when the nCight winds Gwail
NobodCy knows nobody Gsees
NCobody kDnows but mGe
TGhe judge said son what is your alibi
IDf you were somewhere else Cthen you won't have to diGe.
I spoke not a word though it meant my life
ID been in the Carms of my best friend'sG wife
Now the scaffold is high and eternity is near
SDhe stood in a Ccrowd and shed not a tGear
But sometimes at night when the cold wind moans
IDn a long black veil Cshe cries over Gmy bones
SChe walks these hGills in a lCong black vGeil
SChe visits my gGrave when the niCght winds waiGl
NobodCy knows nobodyG sees
NCobody knDows but meG
NobodCy knows nobodyG sees
NCobody knoDws but me G
