The Long Black Veil Chords by Lefty Frizzell

[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Ten years ago _ on a cold dark night there [B] was someone _ killed
beneath [A] the town _ [E] hall light.
There were few at the scene,
but they _ all agreed that the [B] _ slayer who ran [A] looked a lot [E] like 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 [A] of my best [E] friend's wife. _ _ _
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 [E] but me.
_ _ _ _ The sky thought it was high _ _ and _ eternity near.
She [B] stood in the crowd _ [A] and shed _ [E] not a tear,
_ _ but sometimes at night when the cold wind _ moans in [B] a long black veil, she [A] cries, oh [E] my bones.
_ She _
_ [A] walks _ [E] these hills in [A] a long [E] black veil.
She [A] _ visits [E] my grave _ [A] when the night [E] winds _ _ _ wail. _ _ _ _ _
Nobody knows, _ [A] _ _
nobody [E] _ sees, _ [A] _ _
nobody [B] knows _ [E] but me.
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ Nobody [B] knows _ _ [E] but me.

Nobody [B] _ _ knows [E] but me.
