Chords for Johnny Cash - The Long Black Veil

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