Long Black Veil lyrics
Silverado '75 Live And Unreleased
The Long Black Veil
A
Now it was ten years ago on a cold dark night
E D A
There was somebody killed 'neath the town hall light
A
The people around, they all did agree
E D A
That the stranger who fled looked a lot like me
harmonica break
A
Now the judge said "son, what is your alibi?
E D A
If you were somewhere else then you won't have to die"
A
She spoke not a word though it meant my life
E D A
For I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife
D A D A
She walks these hills in a long black veil
D A D A
Visits my grave where the night winds wail
A D A
Nobody knows, nobody sees
E D A
Nobody knows but me
harmonica break
A
Now the scaffold on high and eternity near
E D A
She stood in the crowd and she shed not a tear
A
But sometimes at night when the cold wind blows
E D A
She visits my grave and she cries over my bones
D A D A
She walks these hills in a long black veil
D A D A
Visits my grave where the night winds wail
A D A
Nobody knows, nobody sees
E D A
Nobody knows but me
A D A
Nobody knows, nobody sees
E D A
Nobody knows but me
