Chords for Lefty Frizzell -The Long Black Veil (ORIGINAL) - (1959) & Answer Song.

[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Ten years ago _ on a _ cold dark night [B] there was someone _ killed
Neath [A] the [E] town hall light.
There were few at the scene _
But they all agreed that [B] the _ slayer who ran looked [A] a lot like [E] me
_ _ The _ _ _ judge said, son, what is your _ _ alibi?
If you [B] were _ somewhere else _ _ [A] then you won't have [E] to die
I spoke _ not a word, though it meant my life
For I [B] had been _ in the arms of [A] my best _ [E] friend's wife _
_ She _ _ [A] walks [E] these hills [A] in a long _
[E] black veil
She [A] _ _
visits [E] my grave _ [A] when the night [E] winds _ _ _ _ wail
_ _ _ _ Nobody knows, _ _ [A] _ _ _ [E] nobody _ sees, _ [A] _ _ nobody [B] _
_ knows [E] but _ me _
The _ _ sky _ falls high _ and _ eternity _ _ nears
She [B] stood in the crowd _ and [F#m] shed _ not [E] a tear
But _ sometimes at night when the cold wind _ moans
In [B] a long black veil _ [A] she cries for [E] my bones _
She _ _ _ [A] walks [E] these hills [A] in a _ long [E] black veil
[A] She _ visits [E] my grave _ [A] when the night [E] winds _ _ _ wail
_ _ _ _ _ Nobody _ knows, _ _ [A] _ nobody _
[E] _ sees, _ [A] _ _ nobody [B] knows _ but [E] _ me
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ Nobody _ [B] knows _ _ [E] but _ me

_ _ _ _ Ten _ _ years ago _ on a cold _ dark night
[A] There was someone _ killed _ [G] neath the town _ [D] hall light _ _
_ _ The _ few at the scene were _ wrong as could be
[A] Cause the man they _ _ accused [G] that night was [D] with _ me
_ _ _ But _ _ _ _ _ what could he do _ and what could he say
_ [A] For that one stolen night he [G] _
just [D] had to pay _ _
He _ _ _ couldn't tell a soul _ that I was out with him
For the [A] whole _ town knew _ [G] I belonged to his [D] best friend _ _
_ _ Now [G] I walk _ [D] these hills _ in [G] my long _ [D] black veil
_ I [G] visit [D] his grave when [G] the night _ [D] winds _ _ wail
_ _ _ _ _ Nobody _ _ _ _ _ knows, [G] _
_ _ [D] nobody _ _ sees, [G] _ _ nobody [A] _ _ _
knows but [D] _ [Am] me
_ [D] _ _
The _ _ scaffold was high, _ I knew his death was near
I [A] stood in the crowd and [G] shed _ [D] unseen _ tears _ _
_ But _ _ sometimes at night when the cold wind _ moans
[A] In my long black veil _ I [G] _
_ rebore [D] his _ bones
_ _ _ [G] I walk [Bm] these hills [D] _ in my [G] long _ [D] black veil
_ [G] I _ visit [D] his grave _ when [G] the night _ [D] winds _ _ _ _ _ wail _ _ _
Nobody _ knows, _ _ [G] _ _
_ nobody [D] _ _ sees, _
[G] _ _ nobody [A] _ _ knows [D] but me _ _ _ _ _
