Johnny Cash

Johnny Cash - Long Black Veil (correct Key) guitar chord

INTRO:

C-F-C

VERSE 1:

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

CHORUS:

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

HARMONICA SOLO:

c-F-C

VERSE 2:

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

VERSE 3:

c

Now 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

CHORUS:

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
