_ _ _ _ _ I met Larry _ _ _ Campbell _ who plays with Yorma.
I met him originally _ when I got
invited to do this Neil Young tribute at Carnegie Hall and he was the band leader
and I've been in awe of him ever since and I ended up being invited to play the
Ramble.
I got to go up there and open for Levon and Larry and the band _ the year
before Levon passed and meet him _ which was _ high high on my bucket list
was you know something _ I'll cherish till the day I die.
_ _ _ And so the song that we
we chose was a was a version that the band did [D] of an [D] old classic obviously
Long Black Veil and and I kind of got the idea we were playing around with a
few [G] different things and trying to come up with some kind of kooky ideas but but
we were running late in soundcheck basically and I was like you know what _ I
remembered hearing Larry and [G#] Teresa cover Long [G] Black Veil at one time I
always loved hearing them do it and I was like how about that [C] and then Yorma
was like I actually know a verse of that and I was like and and [G] so Nick was like
okay and then we just jumped on it and it was it was and it came together
quickly and it was a lot of fun and that got it that gave us a chance for Larry
to get the fiddle out which is always welcome as well _ [C] and to get Nick on
[G] mandolin while Larry was on fiddle which [C] was kind of a secret project of mine I just
want I like hearing that Dixieland stuff yeah.

_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ [G] You just said son what is your alibi?
_ You [D] were _ somewhere _ else.
[C] Then you don't [G] have to die.
I _ spoke not a word though it meant _ my life.
I [D] had been in the arms [C] of my best [G] friend's wife. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] She _ warms [G] me still [C] in long [G] black _ _ veil. _ _ _ _ _ _
She _ _ _ [C] _ visits [G] my _ grave [C] where the night winds [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ wail. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Nobody _ _ _ [C] knows, _ nobody [G] _ _
sees, [C] _ _ nobody [D] _ _
knows [C] but _ me. _ _

_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ daffodil was high _ and _ eternally _ near.
[D] She stood in the crowd [C] and shed [G]
not a tear. _ _ _ _
But _ _ sometimes at night when the cold _ wind moans [D] in a long black veil [C] she cries over [G] my _ bones. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] She warms [G] me still [C] in a long [G] black _ _ _ _ _ veil. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] She visits [G] my grave [C] where the night [G] winds _ _ _ _ _ _ wail. _ _ _
