LONG BLACK VEIL
By Marijon Wilkins & Danny Hill
Johnny Cash, Joan Baez
Key: Eb
7 7 7 76 7 -8 8 8 -87
Ten years a-go on a cold dark night,
-8 -8 8 -8 6 6 7 7 -8 7
Some one was killed �neath the Town Hall light
7 7 7 7 7 6 7-8 8 8 -8 7
The peo-ple who saw they all a-greed
-7 7 -8 -8 8 -8
That the slay-er who ran
6 6 7 7 -8 7
looked a lot like me.
7 7 7 7 6 7 -8 8 8 -8 7
The judge said, �son, what is your al-i-bi?
-8 -8 8 -8 7 7
If you were some-wheres else,
-8 7 7 -6 -6 6
then you won't have to die�.
7 7 7 7 76 7 -8 8 8 -8 8
I spoke not a word, though it meant my life,
6 7 -8 -8 8 -8
For I'd been in the arms
6 -6 7 7 -8 7
of my best friend's wife.
6-6 7 7 7 6 6 -6 7 7 8-88-87
She walks these hills in a long black veil,
-6 7 7 -6 6 6 -6 7 -87 8-88-87
Vis-its my grave when the night winds wail,
89 9 -10 9 8 7 7 7 8-87
No-bod-y knows, no-bod-y sees,
6 7 7 -8 8 8-87
No-bod-y knows, but me.
The scaffold is high, eternity near,
She stands in the crowd, she sheds not a tear,
But sometimes at night, when the cold winds moan,
In a long black veil she cries o'er my bones.
She walks these hills in a long black veil,
Visits my grave when the night winds wail,
Nobody knows, nobody sees,
Nobody knows, but me.
