Long Black Veil

G

IntroVerse 1GTen years ago, on a cold dark night
DSomeone was killed, 'neath the Ctown hall Glight
There were Gfew at the scene, but they all agreed
That the Dman who ran, looked a Clot like Gme Verse 2The Gjudge said son, what is your alibi
If you were Dsomewhere else, then Cyou won't have to Gdie
I Gspoke not a word, thou it meant my life
For I'd Dbeen in the arms of my Cbest friend's Gwife Chorus 1She Cwalks these Ghills in a Clong black Gveil
She Cvisits my Ggrave when the Cnight winds Gwail
GNobody knows, Cnobody Gsees
CNobody Dknows but Cme  GInterludeVerse 3Oh, the Gscaffold is high and eternity's near
She Dstood in the crowd and Cshed not a Gtear
But Glate at night, when the north wind blows
In a Dlong black veil, she Ccries ov're my GbonesChorus 2She Cwalks these Ghills in a Clong black Gveil
She Cvisits my Ggrave when the Cnight winds Gwail
GNobody knows, Cnobody Gsees
CNobody Dknows but Cme  G
GNobody knows, Cnobody Gsees
CNobody Dknows but Cme  GEnd
