Chords for Johnny Cash Show: Johnny Cash & Joni Mitchell - The Long Black Veil

_ [C#] _ _ Ten years ago [A#] on a cold dark night
[G#] Someone was killed [F#] near the town [C#] hall lights
There were few at the scene
But they all agreed [G#] that the slayer who ran
[F#] Looked a lot [C#] like me
_ [F#] She walks [C#] near him [F#] in a long [C#] black gleam
She [F#] visits [C#] my grave [F#] when the night [C#] winds blow
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Nobody [F#] knows, [C#] nobody sees
[F#] _
[G#] Nobody [C#] knows but me _ _
The judge said, son, what did your alibi
[G#] If you were somewhere else, you [C#] won't have to die
I spoke not a word, though it meant my life
[G#]
I'd been in the arms of my [C#] best friend's wife
Now the scaffold stood high and eternity was near
She stood in the crowd [F#] but she shed [C#] not a tear
_ But sometimes at night when the cold wind calls
[G#] She comes to my grave [F#] and she moans [C#] over my bone
[F#] She walks [C#] near him [F#] in a long [C#] black gleam
[F#] She [C#] visits my grave [F#] when the night [C#] winds blow _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Nobody knows [F#] _ _ [C#] me, [F#] _ [G#] nobody knows [C#] me
_ _ _ Nobody [F#] knows, [C#] nobody sees
[F#] _ [G#] Nobody knows
[C#] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
