Hank Williams Iii - Long Black Veil Chords

this is from a live recording

C
Ten years ago, on a cold dark night
G7                              F            C
Someone was killed, 'neath the town hall light
C
There were few at the scene, but they all agreed
           G7                      F       C
That the slayer who ran, looked a lot like me

      F          C           F          C 
She walks these hills in a long black veil
      F         C              F          C
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
               F      C
Nobody knows, nobody sees
F        G7       C 
Nobody knows but me

      C                            
The judge said son, what is your alibi
             G7                       F             C 
If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die
C
I spoke not a word, though it meant my life
         G7                     F             C
For I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife
Now the scaffold is high and eternity's near She stood in the crowd did not shed a tear
But sometimes at night, when the cold wind moans she visits my grave and cries o'er my bones

She walks these hills in a long black veil She visits my grave when the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees Nobody knows but me
