The Long Black Veil Chords by Johnny Cash

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