Traditional - Long Black Veil Ukulele

C                   
Ten years ago, on a cold dark night 
          G7                             F         C 
There was someone was killed, 'neath the town hall light 
C                                      
There were few at the scene, but they all agreed 
         G7                    F        C  
That the man who ran, looked a lot like 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, al-tho' it meant my life 
        G7                     F             C 
For I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife 

    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 
C             F      C 
Nobody knows, nobody sees 
F        G7       C   F   C  
Nobody knows but me        

C                    
The scaffold is high and eternity's near 
    G7                     F          C 
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear 
C                                 
But sometimes at night, when the cold wind moans 
      G7                  F             C 
In a long black veil, she cries o'er my bones 
 
 
      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 
C             F      C 
Nobody knows, nobody sees 
F        G7      C   F   C  
Nobody knows but me
