Long Black Veil

Intro
Verse 1
GTen 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 2
The 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 1
She 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
Interlude
Verse 3
Oh, 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 Gbones
Chorus 2
She 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  G
End
