Gillian Welch - Long Black Veil guitar chord

Tabbed By: Emrldeyzs

Live Ft David Rawlings

C

Ten years ago, on a cold dark night

G7 F C

Someone was killed, 'neath the town hall light

There were few at the scene, but they all agreed

G7 F C

That the man who ran, looked a lot like me

C

Well the judge said son, what is your alibi

G7 F C

If you were somewhere else, then you don't have to die

I spoke not a word, al-tho' it meant my life

G7 F C

For I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife

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 F C

Nobody knows but me

VERSE 3:

C

The scaffold is high and eternity's near

G7 F C

She stands in the crowd and sheds not a tear

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 F C

Nobody knows but me

F C

Nobody knows, nobody sees

F G7 C

Nobody knows but me
