Long Black Veil Chords by Johnny Cash

[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Ten years ago on a cold dark [Bm] night, [A] someone was killed
[G] beneath the [D] town hall lights.
There were few at the scene, but they all agreed
[A] that the slayer rant looked [G] a lot [D] like me. _
[G] Now she [D] walks these hills and [G] along [D] Black Vale
she [G] visits [D] my grave when the night winds wail. _ _ _ _ _ _
Nobody _ [G] knows, [D] nobody [G] sees, [A] nobody [D] knows but me.
_ The scaffold was high, _ eternity near.
[A]
She stood in the crowd [G] and shed [D] not a tear,
but sometimes at night when the cold wind moans
[A] and along Black Vale [G] she cries [D] on my bone. _
[G] Now she walks [D] these hills [G] and along [D] Black Vale
[G] she visits [D] my grave [G] when the night [D] winds wail. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Nobody [G] knows, [D] nobody [G] sees, [A] nobody [D] knows but me.
_ The judge said, son, what is your alibi?
If [A] you were somewhere else, [G] then you won't [D] have to die.
I spoke not a word, though it meant my [A] life.
I'd been in the arms [G] of my best [D] friend's wife.
Now [G] she walks [D] these hills [G] and along [D] Black Vale
[G] she visits [D] my grave [G] when the night [D] winds wail. _ _ _ _ _ _
Nobody knows, [G] _ [D] nobody sees, [G] _
[A] nobody [D] knows but me. _ _
Nobody _ [G] knows, [D] nobody sees, [G] _
[A] nobody [D] knows but me. _ _ _
