                                                Long Black Veil
                           by Marijohn Wilkin and Danny Dill
                                            
                              C
Ten years ago on a cool dark night
                                           G7                                   F            C
                        There was someone killed 'neath the town hall light

There were few at the scene and they all did agree
                                             G7                                F          C
                               That the man who ran looked a lot like me
 
                              C
                     The judge said "Son, what is your alibi?
                                        G7                            F                         C
                     If you were somewhere else then you won't have to die"
 
                       I spoke not a word though it meant my life
                                     G7                                F                 C
                           I had been in the arms of my best friend's wife
 
                                      F                  C            F              C
                               She walks these hills in a long black veil
                                 F            C                          F                 C
                          She visits my grave where the night  winds wail
                                  F         C
                           Nobody knows, no, and nobody sees
                                             F            G7             F////    C
                                             Nobody knows but me
 


The scaffold was high and eternity neared

She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear

But sometimes at night when the cold wind moans

In a long black veil she cries over my bones
