Long Black Veil (LIVE)
By Johnny Cash
From the album "Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison"
BbTen years ago, on a cold dark night
F7Someone was killed, 'neath the tEbown hall lightBb
There were few at the scene, but they all agreed
That the slF7ayer who ran, looked a lEbot like mBbe
She waEblks these hBbills in a loEbng black veBbil
She viEbsits my grBbave when the nEbight winds Bbwail
Nobody knows, nEbobody seBbes
EbNobody knF7ows but mBbe
The juBbdge said son, what is your alibi
If you were sF7omewhere else, then you wEbon't have to dBbie
I spoke not a word, al-tho' it meant my life
For I'd bF7een in the arms of my bEbest friend's wBbife
The scBbaffold is high and eternity's near
She stF7ood in the crowd and shEbed not a teBbar
But sometimes at night, when the cold wind moans
In a lF7ong black veil, she crEbies o'er my bonBbes
She waEblks these hBbills in a loEbng black veBbil
She viEbsits my grBbave when the nEbight winds Bbwail
Nobody knows, nEbobody seBbes
EbNobody knF7ows but mBbe
