Bobby Bare - The Long Black Veil Chords

[Intro]
D  A  D  A
 
 
[Verse 1]
D
Ten years ago on a cold dark night
A                            G         D
Someone was killed neath the town hall light
D
There were few at the scene but they all agreed
         A                       G        D
That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me
 
 
[Verse 2]
D
The judge he said son what is your alibi
            A                   G                 D
If you were somewhere else then you won't have to die
D
I spoke not a word although it meant my life
          A                      G             D
For I had been in the arms of my best friend's wife
 
 
[Chorus]
    G           D          G          D
She walks these hills in a long black veil
    G         D              G           D
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
             G      D    G      A         D
Nobody knows nobody sees nobody knows but me
 
[Harmonica Solo]
Am  D  Am  D
 
 
[Verse 2]
D                     A
The scaffold was high and eternity was near
G                     D
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
                                               A
But sometimes at night when the cold wind moans
                           G                  D
In the long black veil she cries o'er my bones
 
 
[Chorus]
        G           D          G          D
Yes she walks these hills in a long black veil
    G         D              G           D
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
             G      D    G      A         D
Nobody knows nobody sees nobody knows but me
 
 
[Outro]
Am  D  Am  D
