Bastard Sons Of Johnny Cash - Long Black Veil guitar chord

Long Black Veil

By The Bastard Sons Of Johnny Cash

Capo 1

D

10 years ago on a cold dark night

A G D

Someone was killed neath the town hall lights

D

There were few at the scene but they all agreed

A G D

That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me

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

D G D

Nobody knows nobody sees

A D

Nobody knows but me

The judge said "son what is your alibi

If you were somewhere else then you won't have to die"

I spoke not a word though it meant my life

Cause I'd been in the arms of my best friends wife

Now the scaffold is high and eternity’s near

Sshe stood in the crowd and shed not a tear

Ssometimes at night when the cold wind moans

In a long black veil she cries over my bones
