My Long Black Veil chords by Marijohn Wilkin

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
D
Ten years ago, on a cold dark night,
     A             G     D
there was someone killed 'neath the town hall light.
  D
The few at scene, where wrong as could be
     A            G      D
'caus the man they acused that night was with me.

Verse 2:
  D
But what could he do, and what could he say
    A          G      D
For the one stolen night he just had to pay
  D
He couldn't tell a soul, that I was out with him
     A        G         D
For the whole town knew I belong to his best friend.

Chorus:
  G      D      G     D
Now I walk these hills, in my long black veil.
  G     D        G      D
I visits his grave, when the night winds wail.
D       G   D   G   A     D
Nobody knows, nobody sees..nobody knows, but me.

Verse 3:
  D
The scaffold was high, I knew his dead was near
  A           G     D
I stood in the crowd and shed unseen tears.
  D
But sometimes at night when the cold wind moarns,
  A           G     D
in my long black veil, I rebore his bones.

Chorus:
  G      D      G     D
Now I walk these hills, in my long black veil.
  G     D        G      D
I visits his grave, when the night winds wail.
D       G   D   G   A     D
Nobody knows, nobody sees..nobody knows, but me.
