Johnny Cash

Johnny Cash - The Long Black Veil guitar chord

Tabbed By: Emrldeyzs

G

Ten years ago, on a cold dark night

D7 C G

Someone was killed, 'neath the town hall light

There were few at the scene, but they all agreed

D7 C G

That the slayer who ran, looked a lot like me

G

The judge said son, what is your alibi

D7 C G

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

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

D7 C G

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

CHORUS:

C G C G

She walks these hills in a long black veil

C G C G

She visits my grave when the night winds wail

C G

Nobody knows, nobody sees

C D7 G C G

Nobody knows but me

VERSE 3:

G

The scaffold is high and eternity's near

D7 C G

She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear

But sometimes at night, when the cold wind moans

D7 C G

In a long black veil, she cries o'er my bones

CHORUS:

C G C G

She walks these hills in a long black veil

C G C G

She visits my grave when the night winds wail

C G

Nobody knows, nobody sees

C D7 G C G

Nobody knows but me
