Long Black Veil Chords by Johnny Cash

[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Ten years ago, on a cold, _ dark night, _ [G] _ _ Someone was killed, _ [Fm] neath the town hall [C]
lights.
There were few at the scene, _ but they all agreed,
[G] That the slayer who ran, _ [F] looked a lot _ [C] like me.
_ _ _ Now [G] [Fm] she walks [C] these [G] hills, in [Fm] a long [C] black veil,
[G] _ [F] She visits _ [C] my grave, [F] when the night [C] winds _ _ _ _ _ _ wave. _ _ _ _
_ Nobody _ knows, _ [F] _
_ nobody [C] _ [G] sees,
_ [F] _
_ Nobody [G] _ knows [C] but me.
_ _ _ _ The scaffold _ was high, and _ eternity near,
[G] _ _ _
She stood in a crowd, _ [F]
and shed [C] not a tear.
_ But sometimes at night, when the cold wind _ moans,
[G] In a long black veil, she [F] _ [C] cries, oh my bones. _ _
_ _ [F] She _ walks [C] these [G] hills, in [F] a long [C] black veil,
[G] She [F] visits my [C] grave, [G] when [F] the night [C]
winds _ wave. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Nobody knows, [G] _ [F] _ _ nobody [C] _ _ [F] sees,
_ _ [G] Nobody knows _ [C] but me. _ _
_ _ [G] _ [C] The judge said, son, what is your _ alibi?
_ [G] If you were somewhere _ _ else, [F] then you won't have [C] to die.
I spoke not a word, though it meant _ my life,
[G] _ I'd been in the arms [F] of my best _ [C]
friend's wife.
_ _ _ _ [F] She _ walks [C] these [G] hills, in [F] a long [C] black veil,
[G] [F] She visits [C] my [G] grave, when [F] the night [C] winds wave. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Nobody _ knows, _ [F] _
_ nobody [C] _ sees,
_ [F] _
_ [G] Nobody _ knows [C] but me. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Nobody knows, _ _ [F] _
_ nobody [C] _ _ [F] sees, _
_ [G] Nobody knows _ [C] but [G] me.
