Chords for Johnny Cash and Kris Kristofferson - Long Black Veil (1993)

We [F] did a song for you from the San Quentin album.
Here's a song that we recorded live at Folsom Prison.
[G] February 11th, 1968 it [C] was. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] Ten years [C] ago, on a cold dark [G] night
Someone was killed [F] beneath the [C] town hall [G] lights
There were few at [C] the scene
But they all agreed [G] that the slayer had
[F] Looked a [C] lot like me
_ Now she [F] [C] walks these halls
[F] The [C] clock's light fills
[F]
It is [C] this my guilt
[F] When the night winds [C] sway
_ _ Nobody _ _ _ _
[A] [F] knows, [C] nobody sees
[F] Nobody [G] _
[C] knows but me
The scaffold was high, _ eternity near
[G] She stood in a crowd [F] and [C] shed not a tear
But sometimes at night when a cold wind [G] blows
And a long black veil [F] she [C] cries over bone
_ [G] Now [F] she walks [C] these hills
And [F] a long [C] black veil she [F] visits my [C] grave
When [F] the night [C] winds _ sway _
_ [F] Nobody [C] _ _ knows, [F] _
[C] nobody [F] sees
Nobody [G] knows [C] but me
The judge said, sir, what is your alibi
[G] If you were somewhere else, [F] you won't [C] have to die
I spoke not a word, though it meant my life
[G] I've been in the arms [F] of a best [C]
friend's wife
[G] Now [F] she walks [C] these hills
[F] And a long [C] black veil [F] she visits [C] my grave
[F] When the night [C] winds sway
_ _ _ Nobody [G] _ [C] _ _ [F] knows, [C] nobody [F] sees
[G] Nobody [C] knows but me _ _
Nobody _ [Gm] [F] knows, [C] nobody [Bbm]
[F] sees
Nobody [G] knows [C] but me _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
