The Long Black Veil by Dave Gunning Guitar Chords

(F#m  A  F#m  E  A)

Ten years ago, on a cold dark night
          E                          D         A
There was someone killed, 'neath the town hall lights
Just a few at the scene, but they all did agree
         E                    D        A
That the man who ran looked a lot like me

The judge said son, what is your alibi
            E                        D             A
If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die
Well I spoke not a word, although it meant my life
    E                      D             A
I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife

[Chorus 1]
    D           A           D          A
She walks these hills, in a long black veil
    D         A               D           A
She visits my grave, when the night winds wail
                    D      A     D      E         F#m
Nobody knows, lord, nobody sees, nobody knows but me

         A
Well the scaffold was high, and eternity near
    E                       D          A
She stood in the crowd, and shed not a tear
But sometimes at night, when the cold wind moans
     E                    D                 A
In a long black veil, she cries all over my bones

[Chorus 2]
    D           A           D          A
She walks these hills, in a long black veil
    D         A           D               A
She visits my grave, when the night winds wail
              D      A     D      E         F#m
Nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows but me
A             D      A     D      E         F#m
Nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows but me
