Chord Long Black Veil by Johnny Cash

capo 1 A ten years ago , on a cold dark night E7 x D A someone was killed , ’neath the town hall light there were few at the scene , but they all agreed E7 x D A that the slayer who ran , looked a lot like me D A D A she walks these hills in a long black veil D A D A she visits my grave when the night winds wail D A nobody knows , nobody sees D E7 x A nobody knows but me A the judge said son , what is your alibi E7 x D A if you were somewhere else , then you won’t have to die i spoke not a word , al - tho’ it meant my life E7 x D A for i’d been in the arms of my best friend’s wife A the scaffold is high and eternity’s near E7 x D A she stood in the crowd and shed not a tear but sometimes at night , when the cold wind moans E7 x D A in a long black veil , she cries o’er my bones D A D A she walks these hills in a long black veil D A D A she visits my grave when the night winds wail D A nobody knows , nobody sees D E7 x A nobody knows but me end capo 1 !
