Long Black Veil by Johnny Cash - Guitar Chords

Version 1 Version 3 Version 4 Version 6

            C
Ten years ago on a cold dark night
 
  G7                           F         C
Someone was killed beneath the town hall light
 
 
There were few at the scene but they all agreed
 
         G7                      F        C
That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me 

 
    F           C
She walks these hills 

     F          C
In a long black veil
 
    F         C
She visits my grave 

         F           C
When the night winds wail
 
             F      C
Nobody knows nobody sees 
 
F      G7        C
Nobody knows but me
   
 
 
The judge said son what is your alibi 

       G7                       F                 C
If you were somewhere else then you won't have to die
 
 
I spoke not a word though it meant my life 

          G7                     F             C
For I had been in the arms of my best friend's wife 

 
    F           C
She walks these hills 

     F          C
In a long black veil
 
    F         C
She visits my grave
 
         F           C
When the night winds wail
 
             F      C
Nobody knows nobody sees
  
F      G7        C
Nobody knows but me 


                                        
The scaffold's high and eternity near 

    G7                     F          C
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear 

                                                  
But sometimes at night when the cold wind blows 

     G7                  F             C
In a long black veil she cries over my bones
 
 
    F           C
She walks these hills
 
     F          C
In a long black veil
 
    F         C
She visits my grave
 
         F           C
When the night winds wail
 
             F      C
Nobody knows nobody sees
  
F      G7        C
Nobody knows but me
