Chords for Rosanne Cash, "Long Black Veil," FreshGrass 2016

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Ten years ago, _ on a cold dark [F] night, there was someone _ _ [C] cute,
[Eb] made the town [Bb] hall light.
_ There were few at the scene, [Eb] but [Bb] they all did agree,
_ [F] that this rare _ [E] rat _ [Eb] looked a lot [Bb] like me. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ The judge said, son, what is your _ _ alibi?
_ _ _ If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die.
_ I spoke not a word, though it meant my _ [F] life,
for I'd been in the [E] arms of [Eb] my best _ [Bb] friend's wife. _ _ _
_ She [Eb] _ [Bb] walks these hills [Eb] and along [Bb] pine _ _ vales,
_ _ [Eb] she _ [Bb] visits my grave [Eb] when the night winds sway. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Nobody knows, _
_ [Eb] _ _ nobody [Gm] _ sees, _ [Eb] _ _ nobody [Bb] _ _
knows but me. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ Scaffold is high and _ eternity _ near,
[F] she stood in the [Bb]
crowd and [Eb] shed not a [Bb]
tear.
But _ _ sometimes at night, when the cold wind [F] moans,
in a long black _ veil, she [Eb] _ cries [Bb] on my bed.
_ _ _ _ She [Eb] _ walks [Bb] these hills [Eb] and [Bb] along pine _ _ _ vales,
_ she _ visits my _ grave when the night winds sway. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Nobody _ _ knows, _ _ _ nobody _ _ sees, _ _ nobody [F] _
knows [Bb] but me. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Nobody knows, _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Gm] nobody _ sees, [Eb] _ _ _ nobody [F] knows _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ but me.
