Dave Gunning - The Long Black Veil guitar chord

The Long Black Veil

Dave Gunning

(Em G Em D G)

Ten years ago, on a cold dark night

There was (D)someone killed, 'neath the (C)town hall (G)lights

Just a few at the scene, but they all did agree

That the (D)man who ran looked a (C)lot like (G)me

The judge said son, what is your alibi

If you were (D)somewhere else, then you (C)won't have to (G)die

Well I spoke not a word, although it meant my life

I'd (D)been in the arms of my (C)best friend's (G)wife

(Chorus 1)

She (C)walks these (G)hills, in a (C)long black (G)veil

She (C)visits my (G)grave, when the (C)night winds (G)wail

Nobody knows, lord, (C)nobody (G)sees, (C)nobody (D)knows but (Em)me

Well the (G)scaffold was high, and eternity near

She (D)stood in the crowd, and (C)shed not a (G)tear

But sometimes at night, when the cold wind moans

In a (D)long black veil, she (C)cries all over my (G)bones

(Chorus 2)

She (C)walks these (G)hills, in a (C)long black (G)veil

She (C)visits my (G)grave, when (C)the night winds (G)wail

Nobody knows, (C)nobody (G)sees, (C)nobody (D)knows but (Em)me

(G)Nobody knows, (C)nobody (G)sees, (C)nobody (D)knows but (Em)me
