E E
Ten years ago on a cold dark night
B B Am Am E E
There was someone killed 'neath the town hall light
E E
There were few at the scene and they all did agree
B B Am Am E E
That the man who ran looked a lot like me.
E E
The judge said, "Son, what is your alibi?
B B Am Am E E
If you were somewhere else then you won't have to die."
E E
I said not a word though it meant my life,
B B Am Am E E
I had been in the arms of my best friend's wife.


Am Am E E Am Am E E
She walks these hills in a long black veil.
Am Am E E Am Am E E
She visits my grave when the night winds wail.


E E Am Am E E E E B B Am Am
Nobody knows, no, and nobody sees; nobody knows but me.

E E
The scaffold was high and eternity near
B B Am Am E E
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
E E
But sometimes at night when the cold wind moans
B B Am Am E E
In a long black veil she cries over my bones.
She walks these hills in a long black veil
She visits my grave where the night winds wail.

Nobody knows, no, and nobody sees; nobody knows but me.

About this song: Long Black Veil

LONG BLACK VEIL (Marijohn Wilkin/Danny Dill) original: Lefty Frizzell (1959) - Columbia > Saga song inspired by true facts: the murder of a New Jersey priest and the confusing story of a veiled woman visiting Rudolph Valentino's grave with fresh flowers every day. In the song a man is convicted for murdering his best friend. He had an alibi but couldn't produce it in court: while the killing took place the widow shared his bed.
