The Long Black Veil
Ton : GEnglish
Couplet
GTen years ago on a cold dark night
DSomeone was killed beneath the Ctown hall lights G
There were few at the scene but they all agreed
DThat the slayer who ran looked a Clot like me G
Refrain
CShe walks these Ghills in a Clong black Gveil
CShe visits my Ggrave when the Cnight winds Gwail
CNobody knows nobody Gsees
CNobody Dknows but Gme
Couplet
GThe judge said son what is your alibi
DIf you were somewhere else Cthen you won't have to Gdie.
I spoke not a word though it meant my life
I Dbeen in the Carms of my best friend's Gwife
Couplet
Now the scaffold is high and eternity is near
DShe stood in a Ccrowd and shed not a Gtear
But sometimes at night when the cold wind moans
DIn a long black veil Cshe cries over Gmy bones
Refrain
CShe walks these Ghills in a Clong black Gveil
CShe visits my Ggrave when the Cnight winds Gwail
CNobody knows nobody Gsees
CNobody Dknows but me G
CNobody knows nobody Gsees
CNobody Dknows but me G
